vsce: Show the metadata associated with an extension.
$ vsce show ${extension_id}
try on your machine

The command "vsce show ${extension_id}" is used to display detailed information about a Visual Studio Code (VS Code) extension with the specified extension ID.

In the command, "${extension_id}" should be replaced with the actual ID of the extension you want to show the information for. The extension ID is a unique identifier assigned to each extension in VS Code's marketplace.

When you execute the command, it queries the VS Code extension registry and provides various details about the specified extension:

  • Extension Name: The name of the extension.
  • Version: The current version number of the extension.
  • Publisher: The publisher or author of the extension.
  • Description: A brief description of what the extension does.
  • VS Marketplace URL: A direct link to the extension's page in the VS Code marketplace.

This command can be useful when you want to quickly check the details of an extension and get more information about it before installing or using it.
