Publish `Sapling SCM` to Open VSX
Hey all,
I wanted to open this ticket to ask - please publish the Sapling vscode extension to the Open VSX marketplace.
Context
Unfortunately, as Microsoft prohibits usages of the Microsoft marketplace by any other products or redistribution of .vsix files from it, in order to use VS Code extensions in non-Microsoft products, we kindly ask that you take ownership of the VS Code extension namespace in Open VSX and publish this extension on Open VSX.
What is Open VSX? Why does it exist?
Open VSX is a vendor neutral alternative to the MS marketplace used by most other derivatives of VS Code like VSCodium, Gitpod, OpenVSCode, Theia-based IDEs, and so on.
You can read on about Open VSX at the Eclipse Foundation's Open VSX FAQ.
How can you publish to Open VSX?
The docs to publish an extension can be found here. This process is straightforward and shouldn't take too long. Essentially, you need an authentication token and to execute the ovsx publish command to publish your extension. There's also a doc explaining the whole process with an example GitHub Action workflow.
I would be happy to get the ball rolling by submitting a PR, as I get a ton of value from Sapling.
+1. I had to find the download link to the VSIX package from Microsoft Store and then manually install it in Cursor.

How did you find the link. I had to download the extension on vscode and after that import extensions from vscode to cursor.
How did you find the link
I use this tool: https://cypherpunksamurai.github.io/vsix-downloader-webui/ (thanks https://github.com/CypherpunkSamurai/vsix-downloader-webui !)
It will download a file with .VSIXPackage extension. Just change the extension to .vsix.

Came here to add this issue but was beat to it! @evangrayk would be great to add this if you have the chance. I've republished this before and it was very easy. I just went through this tutorial: https://github.com/eclipse/openvsx/wiki/Publishing-Extensions
Let me know if I can help in any way!
I've been a true git stan but one of my colleagues convinced me to switch our whole company over :)
+1, any plans to publish on OpenVSX so that ISL can be directly installed as an extension in Cursor @evangrayk?
