⏲️ How It Works

The process of syncing and packaging GitLens is straightforward. Here is what happens:

1. Version Check: The tool checks if you provided a version number. If you leave it empty, the latest version is fetched.
2. Local Check: It scans your local environment to see if the release already exists. If it does, the tool skips the packaging step.
3. Fetch Code: The relevant code is pulled from the upstream repository.
4. Release Info: It retrieves release notes from the upstream repository.
5. Checkout Code: The tool switches to the specified version of the code.
6. Install Dependencies: It runs pnpm install to install necessary dependencies.
7. Package Build: Finally, the tool builds the project, creating a .vsix file ready for installation.

⚙️ Manual Triggering

You can also manually trigger the sync process through GitHub Actions. Here’s how:

1. Go to the Actions tab in the repository.
2. Select the Sync Release workflow.
3. Click Run workflow.
4. Optional: Enter a version (e.g., v17.8.1). Leave it blank to get the latest.
5. Click Run workflow again to execute the process.
