Function: addExtension()

function addExtension(
   source, 
   scopeDir, 
   options?
): Promise<{
  commit?: string;
  missing: string[];
  name: string;
  remote: string[];
  replaced: boolean;
}>;

Defined in: core/externalExtensions.ts:699

Installs an extension into a scope from a folder or a git repository (url#ref, sha to pin a commit, and subdir for one inside it): copies its files (never runs a script), checks its manifest, and locks it, enabled, with the marketplace it came from when it did (origin, for a temporary folder, is what the lock says it came from). An extension with the same name in that scope is replaced; its data folder stays. With link, a folder is registered where it is instead, to develop it: not copied, and its files not checked. The packages its npx servers run are fetched into packages (#54), the agent's package cache (packageCacheDir(); by default the scope's).
