Manage your workspaces and projects in Visual Studio Code.
Welcome to version 1.0 of the extension Projects. All of the features on my to-do list are done, but that doesn't mean the extension's development is finished. There are more ideas for the future.
I also want to say thank you to all reviewers on the Visual Studio Code Marketplace and Github for the positive feedback. I never expected that so many people would download or use the extension. Thank you very much.
