Enable gitignore extension to run on VS Code on the web#38

Description

@isidorn

馃憢 I'm Isidor, a PM from the VS Code team, and we recently announced VS Code for the Web at https://vscode.dev/, which provides a free, zero-install Microsoft Visual Studio Code experience running entirely鈥痠n your鈥痓rowser. You can learn more here.

We'd like to ensure gitignore can run in the web, and we have a guide for enabling extensions for the web here. As a couple of highlights:

  • In VS Code for the Web, both the UI and extension host run inside the browser.
  • A web extension is structured like a regular extension, but with a different main file: it's defined by the browser property
  • Access to workspace files needs to go through the VS Code file system API accessible at vscode.workspace.fs
  • There are currently three ways to test a web extension

Please let us know if you have questions or feedback on enabling your extension for the web - our team would love to learn from your experiences and collaborate. Thank you!
