- Add or update commands to your VS Code extension

# Instructions

VS Code commands must always define a `title`, independent of its category,
visibility or location. We use a few patterns for each "kind" of command, with
some characteristics, described below:

- Regular commands: By default, all commands should be accessible in the Command
  Palette, must define a `category`, and don't need an `icon`, unless the
  command will be used in the Side Bar.

- Side Bar commands: Its name follows a special pattern, starting with
  underscore (`_`) and suffixed with `#sideBar`, like
  `_extensionId.someCommand#sideBar` for instance. Must define an `icon`, and
  may or may not have some rule for `enablement`. Side Bar exclusive commands
  should not be visible in the Command Palette. Contributing it to the
  `view/title` or `view/item/context`, we must inform _order/position_ that it
  will be displayed, and we can use terms "relative to other command/button" in
  order to you identify the correct `group` to be used. Also, it's a good
  practice to define the condition (`when`) for the new command is visible.
