Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named in the issue. Start by locating the extension generator's current templates and entry point, then compare the setup needed for browser and desktop extensions; done means the generator can produce a template compatible with both environments.

Description

I'd like to make an extension that's compatible for both web and the desktop app like GitLens and the GitHub Pull Requests and Issues extensions. However, the set up with the 2 different environments seems quite complex. I'd love a pre-generated template for an extension.
