Developer guidance
- You must be running Windows 11 21H2 (build >= 10.0.22000.0) to run Dev Home
- You must enable Developer Mode in the Windows Settings app
Building the code
- Clone the repository
- Uninstall the Preview version of the Dev Home GitHub Extension (Dev Home has a hard time choosing which extension to use if two versions exist)
- Open
GitHubExtension.sln
in Visual Studio 2022 or later and build from the IDE, or runbuild\scripts\build.ps1
from a Visual Studio command prompt.
OAuth App
Since secrets cannot be checked in to the repository, developers must create their own test OAuth app for local tests.
Follow this link https://docs.github.com/en/developers/apps/building-oauth-apps/creating-an-oauth-app to create a Git OAuth app (with RedirectUri = "devhome://oauth_redirect_uri/").
The OAuth App ClientId and ClientSecret can be added as environment variables using the following instructions:
On an elevated cmd window:
setx GITHUB_CLIENT_ID "Your OAuth App's ClientId" /m
setx GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET "Your OAuth App's ClientSecret" /m
