Getting Started with Pymakr (from here)

   1. add or create a project folder for holding your micropython code (suggestion: name it “micropython”). Consider creating one in your “code” git repository.
2. navigate to “Pymakr: Projects” tab in the workspace explorer window on the left

   1. select “create project”. Select the same code folder as above and specify a project name (like “hello-world”). Select the option to create a subdirectory with the micropython folder.
