The General Extension Development workflow

After you have barge installed, are logged into a Skyport account, and have generated your keys, you can begin to develop your own Airship extensions.

The general workflow goes like this:

1. Initialize your new extension.
2. Write your code.
3. Build the extension.
4. Sign the extension.
5. Release the extension.
