About:
OVSX is the official command-line interface for interacting with Eclipse Open VSX, an open-source registry for VS Code extensions. It enables developers to publish, manage, and verify extensions without being locked into a proprietary marketplace. This tool is essential for organizations hosting their own extension registries or contributing to the open ecosystem.
Key Features:
  • Publish extensions to Open VSX compatible registries
  • Manage namespace ownership and access rights
  • Verify and validate extension metadata
  • Seamless integration with CI/CD pipelines
Use Cases:
  • Publishing VS Code extensions to an internal company registry
  • Automating extension releases in GitHub Actions or other CI systems
  • Contributing extensions to the open-source Open VSX ecosystem
Alternatives:
  • vsce – Official Microsoft CLI for VS Code extensions, but restricted to VS Marketplace
