Contribute

1. Clone and open this repo in VS Code
2. Run npm install to install the Primer CSS color reference and run npm start to run the converter.
3. Press F5 to open a new window with your extension loaded
4. Open Code > Preferences > Color Theme [⌘k ⌘t] and pick the "GitHub Light" or "GitHub Dark" theme
5. Make changes to the /src/theme.js file.
   • UI: For all changes to the "outer UI", like (status bar, file navigation etc.), take a look at the Theme Color reference.
   • Syntax: For changes to the "code highlighting", examine the syntax scopes by invoking the Developer: Inspect Editor Tokens and Scopes command from the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P or Cmd+Shift+P on Mac) in the Extension Development Host window.
6. Commit your changes and open a PR.

Note:

• If possible use colors from Primer's color system.
• Changes to the theme files are automatically applied to the Extension Development Host window, so no reloading should be necessary.
