VS Code Extension pulls from "community-dev" branch

[cboydstun]

Description

Update the Agoric VS Code Extension so that it clones and installs the "community-dev" branch for users to build on.

Context

The "master" branch of our SDK is under constant development and is currently optimized for our parity stability module. We want our community of developers to have access to a stable release of the SDK for them to experiment with.

Acceptance Criteria

1. VS Code Extension installs the "community-dev" branch of the Agoric SDK
2. Keyword "agoric" is available from the terminal command line
3. Code is open sourced and submission includes a video walkthrough/demo

Time Estimation

3 hours

Reward

$240

Payment will be made in USD (fiat currency) via wire transfer. The developer is responsible for providing their completed tax documents (W9 for US based developers and/or W8 or W8-BEN-E for non-US based developers) and providing their banking details in order to receive payment.

@cboydstun , 2 things from an "outsider":

• please mark the targeted (or 'reserved') bounties as such (just on top of the issues "reserved for danBamikiya")

• consider making the 3 vars configurable, thus users can override (e.g. using an own repo, some other branch, or even just directory)

  • sdkDirName
  • sdkRepo
  • sdkRepoBranch

@abebeos lovely suggestions! can you further expantiate on what you mean by "or even just directory" (which is the sdkDirName)?

the sdkDirName is folder name of the cloned repo https://github.com/Agoric/agoric-sdk/ (agoric-sdk). if a user uses their own repo (which I assume will be a fork) or a different branch, the folder name agoric-sdk will still be the same.

or do you mean the folder the sdk will be cloned into?

[danBamikiya]

do you mean the folder the sdk will be cloned into?

yes, this would be

git clone -b $sdkRepoBranch $sdkRepo $sdkDirName

I assumed that making the branch/repo configurable would lead to some user asking for directory configuration, too (e.g. "agora-sdk-intra")

So, I'd say priority would be to have branch, then repo, and lastly directory configurable. If its too much of a problem, you could leave directory configuration out for now.

okay @abebeos I totally get what you mean now, that sdkDirName is also configurable, it was just not exposed to users. thanks for your lovely explanation and suggestions!

@cboydstun , note that gitcoin seems to have a duplicate entry for the bounty:

• https://gitcoin.co/issue/29432 - the actual issue
• https://gitcoin.co/issue/29433 - the duplicate

Thanks @abebeos! I cancelled the duplicate. Maybe an impatient double click duplicated the entry? I know I didn't write it twice! 🤪
