SyntaxBomb - Indie Coders

blitzmax visual studio extension.
Alright, i have got most things figured like the documentation/build settings tab but i could not find a way to build but not run, when i click that option via f1+f1 build application option it only opens a terminal.

also regarding terminals, the debug console does not accept commands to the application console like for blitzmax's standardio input function to input commands to the app.

and lastly, to commit changes to github, how the f does it know my account/github repository to commit to yet? i have github desktop installed, had to install git as well but then idk how to set that information for committing to github my source edits/changes. it just shows a loading icon after i press commit and after that i am unable to add remote. Can you tell me each step, do i have to provide a direct github url to my account and then the repository name? what are the steps.
 
can you offer any tips on these? i also do not like the dark theme of the gui, are there any other themes for the app?

edit: i was able to change the theme apparently there is a site dedicated to visual studio themes. if microsoft owns the theme site then good on you microsoft for supporting linux and themes.

Is this the Hezkore extension? When you have a .bmx file open it should show a build-only icon to the right of the open file tabs.

yes found it thanks. what about git?

I don't use Git-integration in IDEs so I can't give you any guidance for VS Code setup specifically. Generally you will set up your git user in either the global or local config as needed and your IDE (or, rather, the Git binary) should be able to pick it up from there.

Commits are attributed to the name and email in your git config, but authorising interactions with a Gitlab/Github account is a separate matter. Personally, for online repository hosts, I will generate a passphrase-less private/public ssh key pair on my dev machine and add the public key to my Gitlab/Github account (instructions for Github here: https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/connecting-to-github-with-ssh). From this page it looks like you can sign into VS Code with your Github account, though, so maybe that's all you need as the IDE can submit your credentials instead of the SSH client doing it.

ahh yes k i should have realized i could just google it. @Sledge last 2 days i've been unsure of whether or not to finish my project, so far i have 3 things in mind, finish the project, become a musician and farming. im not sure about this one.
