Description
**Describe the bug**
I've installed the extension and signed in to github, but nothing has changed in VS code. There's no sidebar icon like in the screenshots, and since there's no documentation, I have no idea what to do now.
**To Reproduce**
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
1. Install github actions extension
2. ???
**Expected behavior**
I actually have no idea what to expect. Is this supposed to let me run and debug github actions locally? I have no idea because there's no documentation. Selecting my workflow yml files just views them same as it always has.
I would at least expect to see something similar to in your screenshots, but it looks no different with it installed or not.
**Extension Version**
`v0.27.2`
Contributor guide
Research direction
No source files or tests are named. Start by reviewing the extension's installation and activation behavior, then document what the sidebar icon and workflow files should do; done means a new user can follow the installation steps and understand the extension's expected behavior.
