Chocolatey VSCode extension

Chocolatey VSCode extension is a Visual Studio Code extension for working with Chocolatey packages on Windows. It brings Chocolatey-focused package creation and handling into the editor rather than serving as a separate package source or standalone application. It is intended for people who use a current workspace to create, package, remove, or push Chocolatey package files.

The command Chocolatey: Create new Chocolatey package creates a default templated Chocolatey package at the root of the current workspace. Chocolatey: Pack Chocolatey package(s) searches the current workspace for nuspec files and packages them. Chocolatey: Delete Chocolatey package(s) searches the current workspace for nupkg files and deletes them. Chocolatey: Push Chocolatey package(s) searches the current workspace for nupkg files and pushes them.

The extension also provides snippets for the Chocolatey helper functions Install-ChocolateyPackage and Uninstall-ChocolateyPackage. In a PowerShell file, typing choco followed by Ctrl-Space displays the available snippets. Selecting a snippet generates the PowerShell for the chosen helper function and places the cursor where the function content can be filled in.

As a Windows extension for Visual Studio Code, it fits the editor and developer-tools category by operating on package files in the current workspace and exposing Chocolatey actions through editor commands. MirrorNest links straight to the official release instead of mirroring the extension, so the catalog serves as a route to the original distribution. The license is unknown based on the available information.
