Announcing the GitHub Actions extension for VS Code

Today, were excited to announce the public beta release of the official GitHub Actions VS Code extension. With this extension, you can manage your workflows without leaving your editor, easily monitor runs, cancel and re-run them, or trigger new ones for manually triggered workflows. Additionally, you can list available secrets and variables at all supported levels, and with the right permissions, add and modify repository and environment secrets and variables. Improvements made for authoring workflows include syntax highlighting for workflows and expressions, integrated documentation for the workflow schema, expression functions, and even event payloads, validation and code completion for the YAML schema and GitHub Actions Expressions, and the extension even validates workflows against the static schema, detecting any incorrect references between jobs, steps, and other workflow components. Try out the latest and most up-to-date features provided by the official GitHub Actions VS Code extension.
