'Alexa Skills - Editing existing live skill in VS Code

I started developing skills for Alexa some time ago. I managed to add one skill to the Alexa Skills Store. Now I would like to make some changes in my code, but I don't want these changes to be deployed in my skill right away. I want them to be deployed on my 'test version'. When that test version works like I want it to, I want that verstion to be deployed as a live skill. It is very easy to do that job in Alexa Developer Console, but I didn't find any solution how to do it in Visual Studio Code. Is there any way to do this? Thanks!!

Hosted Skill in Alexa Developer Console:

  1. Install ASK CLI
  2. Run ask deploy (the code will only be deploy to the dev env and be in prod after you publish the new version)

Hosted Skill yourself:

  1. You have to change the endpoint of your skill in your DEV env.
  2. You can then programmatically upload the code to your lambda (or other backend)
