// Tip: load up the below script in a Quokka buffer to have the list just waiting in your clipboard

const {execSync, spawn} = require('child_process')

const result = execSync('code --list-extensions')

const list = String(result)
  .split('\n')
  .filter(Boolean)
  .map(
    x => `- [${x}](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=${x})`
  )
  .join('\n')

const proc = spawn('pbcopy')
proc.stdin.write(list)
proc.stdin.end()
