I am thrilled to announce early access preview of private extension repository for Visual Studio Code, designed to simplify the management of extensions in your organisation. The repository offers key features such as offline access, support for pre-release extensions, and multiple instances.
The repository is lightweight, self contained, cross-platform and you can make it run on your favourite cloud service. It delivers one of the feature requests in the vscode repository, has over a 1,000 thumbs-ups (👍), 100 comments, and active even today after 6 years since it's filed
Offline Access: with the private repository, you can store and access your extensions offline, even when you don't have an internet connection. This can be incredibly useful for developers who work in areas with limited connectivity, or for teams and enterprises who need to access extensions in a secure environment.
Pre-release Extensions: The repository supports full SemVer 2.0 versioning specifications. This allows you to test and develop new extensions in a safe, controlled environment before releasing them to your team or to public. With the private repository, you can easily manage pre-release extensions, giving you more control over your development process.
Multiple instances: We also understand that many teams need to host their own repository, each with their own set of extensions. Private extension repository supports multiple instances, making it easy to manage and get extensions from multiple source for Visual Studio Code.
The repository is designed to be easy to use, and it integrates seamlessly with Visual Studio Code. You can simply push an extension to the repository, and it will be available for use instantly. Additionally, the repository supports automatic versioning, making it easy to keep track of changes to your extensions.
In conclusion, the private extension repository for Visual Studio Code is a powerful tool for teams and organisations who need to manage extensions securely and efficiently.
