Publishing to SSMS Gallery

[ErikEJ]

Maybe you are aware of VSIX Gallery or already publish to it?

It allows SSMS extensions as well, but they are very hard to discover, as the focus is VS extensions.

I am considering to launch a clone, that only supports SSMS extensions for max visibility.

What do you get from the Gallery:

• ability to make the latest released version of your extension abvailable for download.
• a RSS feed that your users can subscribe to in order to get notified of updates
• extended description of your extension based on the readme in your GitHub repository

For a sample of what this looks like, have a look here:

https://ssmsgallery.azurewebsites.net/

(to publish an extension, I simply used this command line:

curl "https://ssmsgallery.azurewebsites.net/api/upload" -F "file=@SQL Formatter v1.0.59.vsix"

Please let me know what you think!

Hi Erik,

I assume you are using this project as the base: https://www.vsixgallery.com/
I'm also fine with pushing to your version of it.

Thanks

@alex-bochkov yes I forked that, but SSMS extensions have very little visibility there.

Thanks for taking this up!
