I thought that was the approach we agreed on for the distribution of the add-in. I might have misunderstood but that at least was my understanding when writing this paragraph.
This is where I understood it as an agreement on the approach described: #656 (comment)

Ah, sorry — yes. But we haven't implemented that (in .github/workflows/ci.yml) yet 😄 To be honest, I don't even know what VSIX is and/or how to generate it.

Aah fair. VSIX is just a visual studio code installation executable. So just a packaging format for code extensions to share them. It can be generated via npm with this script: https://github.com/sharkdp/numbat/blob/master/vscode-extension/package.json#L38
I didn't think about changing the GitHub Action but I could probably add it as a step without a problem.

There may be some pluming needed for the files to be added when creating a new release but the setup for generating the VSIX file is now in place |
