Project Manager is an open source extension created for Visual Studio Code. While being free and open source, if you find it useful, please consider supporting it
It helps you to easily access your projects, no matter where they are located. Don't miss that important projects anymore. You can define your own Favorite projects, or choose for auto-detect VSCode projects, Git, Mercurial and SVN repositories.
Since version 8 you have a dedicated Activity Bar for your projects!
Here are some of the features that Project Manager provides:
- Save any project as Favorite
- Auto-detect VSCode, Git, Mercurial and SVN repositiories
- Open projects in the same or new window
- Identify deleted/renamed projects
- A Status Bar which identifies the current project
- A dedicated Activity Bar
Project Manager: Save Project
Save the current folder as a new projectProject Manager: Edit Project
Edit your projects manually (projects.json
)Project Manager: List Projects to Open
List all saved/detected projects and pick oneProject Manager: List Projects to Open in New Window
List all saved/detected projects and pick one to be opened in New WindowProject Manager: Refresh Projects
Refresh the cached projects
You can save the current project in the manager at any time. You just need to type a name. It even suggests a name to you automatically :)
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",
"paths": [],
"group": ""
},
{
"name": "Bookmarks",
"rootPath": "$home\\Documents\\GitHub\\vscode-bookmarks",
"paths": [],
"group": ""
},
{
"name": "Numbered Bookmarks",
"rootPath": "$home\\Documents\\GitHub\\vscode-numbered-bookmarks",
"paths": [],
"group": ""
}
]
For now, only
name
androotPath
fields are used. Use a special variable called$home
while defining anypath
. It will be replaced by the HOME folder.
Be sure that the JSON file is well-formed. Otherwise, Project Manager will not be able to open it, and an error message like this should appear. In this case, you should use the
Open File
button to fix it.
Shows your projects and select one to open.
Just like List Projects but always opening in New Window.
If you are a keyboard focused user and uses Vim like keyboard navigation, you can navigate thru the project list with your own keybindings.
Just use the when
clause "inProjectManagerList"
, like:
{
"key": "ctrl+j",
"command": "workbench.action.quickOpenSelectNext",
"when": "inProjectManagerList"
}
You can choose how your projects are sorted
Saved
: The order that you saved the projectsName
: The name that you typed for the projectPath
: The full path of the projectRecent
: The recently used projects
"projectManager.sortList": "Name"
- Choose if the project list must be grouped by its kind (Favorites, VS Code, Git, Mercurial and SVN).
"projectManager.groupList": true
- Should the current project be removed from the list? (
false
by default)
"projectManager.removeCurrentProjectFromList": true
- Should identify invalid paths on project list? (
true
by default)
"projectManager.checkInvalidPathsBeforeListing": false
- Filter Projects Through Full Path (
false
by default)
"projectManager.filterOnFullPath": true
- Custom projects file (
projects.json
) location
If you intend to share projects between Stable and Insider installations, or if you store your settings in different locations (cloud services), you can indicate an alternative location for the projects.json
file.
"projectManager.projectsLocation": "C\\Users\\myUser\\AppData\\Roaming\\Code\\User"
"projectManager.git.baseFolders": [
"c:\\Projects\\code",
"d:\\MoreProjects\\code-testing",
"$home\\personal-coding"
]
Define the folders which contains the projects
"projectManager.git.ignoredFolders": [
"node_modules",
"out",
"typings",
"test"
],
Define which folders should be ignored (inside the BaseFolders)
"projectManager.git.maxDepthRecursion": 4
Define how deeps it should search for projects
- Cache automatically detected projects (
true
by default)
"projectManager.cacheProjectsBetweenSessions": false
- Display the Project Name in Status Bar (
true
by default)
"projectManager.showProjectNameInStatusBar": true
- Open projects in New Window when clicking in status bar (
false
by default)
"projectManager.openInNewWindowWhenClickingInStatusBar": true
The Projects are now presented id its own Activity Bar ,giving you more free space in your Explorer bar. You will have a few extra commands available:
- Open a project, simply clicking in the project item
- Open a project in a New Window, right clicking in the project item
- Add a project to the current Workspace
While Project Manager is free and open source, if you find it useful, please consider supporting it.
I've been building Project Manager since VS Code internal beta days, and while I enjoy developing it, I would like to be able to give more attention to its growth.
