Project Manager

It helps you to easily access your projects, no matter where they are located. Don't miss those important projects anymore.

You can define your own Projects (also called Favorites), or choose for auto-detect Git, Mercurial or SVN repositories, VSCode folders, or any other folder.

Here are some of the features that Project Manager provides:

  • Save any folder or workspace as a Project
  • Auto-detect Git, Mercurial or SVN repositories
  • Organize your projects using Tags
  • Open projects in the same or new window
  • Identify deleted/renamed projects
  • A Status Bar which identifies the current project
  • A dedicated Side Bar

Features

Available Commands

  • Project Manager: Save Project Save the current folder/workspace as a new project
  • Project Manager: Edit Project Edit your projects manually (projects.json)
  • Project Manager: List Projects to Open List all saved/detected projects and pick one
  • Project Manager: List Projects to Open in New Window List all saved/detected projects and pick one to be opened in New Window
  • Project Manager: Filter Projects by Tag Filter the Favorite projects by selected tags

Manage your projects

Save Project

You can save the current folder/workspace as a Project at any time. You just need to type its name.

Save

It suggests a name to you automatically :)

Edit Projects

For easier customization of your project list, you can edit the projects.json file, directly inside Code. Just execute Project Manager: Edit Projects and the projects.json file is opened. Simple as this:

[
    {
        "name": "Pascal MI",
        "rootPath": "c:\\PascalProjects\\pascal-menu-insight",
        "tags": [],
        "enabled": true,
        "profile": "Delphi"
    },
    {
        "name": "Bookmarks",
        "rootPath": "$home\\Documents\\GitHub\\vscode-bookmarks",
        "tags": [
            "Personal",
            "VS Code"
        ],
        "enabled": true,
        "profile": "VSCode"
    },
    {
        "name": "Numbered Bookmarks",
        "rootPath": "~\\Documents\\GitHub\\vscode-numbered-bookmarks",
        "tags": [
            "Personal",
            "VS Code"
        ],
        "enabled": false,
        "profile": "VSCode"
    }
]

You can use ~ or $home while defining any path. It will be replaced by your HOME folder.

Be sure that the JSON file is well-formed. Otherwise, Project Manager will not be able to open it, and an error message like this should appear. In this case, you should use the Open File button to fix it.
