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

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.

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": "$home\\Documents\\GitHub\\vscode-bookmarks",
"tags": [
"Personal",
"VS Code"
],
"enabled": true,
"profile": "VSCode"
},
{
"name": "Numbered Bookmarks",
"rootPath": "~\\Documents\\GitHub\\vscode-numbered-bookmarks",
"tags": [
"Personal",
"VS Code"
],
"enabled": false,
"profile": "VSCode"
}
]
You can use
~or$homewhile 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 Filebutton to fix it.

Access

Shows your projects and select one to open.
List Projects to Open in New Window

Listing placement
Filled points are observed values; hollow points come from Internet Archive snapshots of the listing page. Dashed segments span periods with no observations — values between points are not interpolated.
Each band is one page of 20. Installs on a linear scale. Placement is projected from installs, so it can differ from the marketplace's own sort order. Hover a dot to see the listing.
