Microsoft Dev Home extension

[ikarmus2001]

Feature Description

It might be a little niche idea, but I think it would be nice, if one could use Gitea in Microsoft Dev Home, just like Azure or GitHub extensions.

Imo Gitea extension wouldn't have to be much more than GitHub one, some basic info about PR status, Assigned tasks - that would be a good start.

Dev Home is still in preview, but I believe it could be really nice addition for people using it. Maybe the app will gain many useful features and it might come to broader audience, so it might be worth a try.

I didn't find any issue including this idea, I don't expect such feature for myself, just wanted to start the conversation and bring it to Your attention.
Cheers!

The idea sounds good, but Dev Home and the GitHub extension are all developed in C#.
In GitHub extension, it is using Octokit as the API client.
So if we want to implement Gitea extension, we need to maintain a C# SDK and the extension?
Although you can find a .Net SDK from https://gitea.com/gitea/awesome-gitea#sdk, but it is no longer maintained for a long time.
Or we need to do some magic approaches like calling Go functions in C#?
Or simply implementing an Gitea API client inside the extension?
Maybe it is also similar to the VSCode extension, the SDKs for Gitea in the other languages are too weak.
If we already have a strong support for the SDKs in these languages, I think the development of these extensions should not be very hard.
