Cleanup Extensions

I've had issues with them toggling back on and causing conflict.

Download the json from settings backup, parse to the disabled extensions and then forcibly uninstall to ensure no further sync issue.

cat extensions.uninstall.json | jq '.[] | select(.disabled==true)' | jq '.identifier.id' -r | while read -r key; read -r val; do
  code-insiders --uninstall-extension $val
done

Enumeration With Go

Usage of named aliases for types in an effort to emulate enumeration behavior from other languages can cause issues.

Using a named type for an alias gives the illusion of control, but since a literal value can be placed as it matches the type, it doesn't really do anything but provide an additional layer of abstraction.

Example:

• Overriding the Values
• Iota Not Allowing Override With String

# this uses aliases to simulate what a linux user would normally expect to write
# idiomatic powershell leans on clarity over being terse, so "%" would be ForEach-Object for example. 
$Files = gci -Recurse -Filter package.json | Where Name -notmatch "node_modules" | % { [pscustomobject]@{FullName = $_.FullName; Content = (gc $_.FullName -raw | ConvertFrom-Json) }}
$UpdateFiles = $files | ? {$_.Content.Dependencies -match 'temporalio'}
$UpdateFiles | % {
    $f = $_ # $_ = pipelined object with all properties available
    $f.Content.Dependencies.temporalio = '^0.13.0' # this is object property reference because ConvertFrom-Json gave us an object, not raw text
    $f.Content | ConvertTo-Json -depth 100 | Out-File -Path $f.FullName -Force  # convert back to json as it was actually an object

Using Git-Compose

• Install Git-Compose
• Set preference of ssh or https. Default behavior is https. To change to ssh use: gico config set --prefer-remote ssh

Use in current directory to initialize quickly with: gico init, or use a remote yaml url to quickly setup a new dev.

    However, this isn't always the case. For instance, running a script on my machine, using my own base64 encoded PAT, ../_apis/../projects needs `Basic` but ../_apis/../pullrequests needs `Bearer`. When running through AzDO, they all need `Bearer`.

    ... but it appears that if you use your account's PAT, you need to use `Basic` and encode it with a : (colon) at the beginning of the PAT:
