VS Code: Workspace
A
workspace can be thought of as a collection of directories (folders) with extra metadata that is created and used by
VS Code
A workspace allows to set settings, options, extensions, UI state information etc. that apply to this workspace only.
It's possible to edit files without them being associated with a workspace (File -> Open File (?))
Single folder workspace
The settings for a singe folder workspace are stored in the folder's .vscode/settings.json file.
Mutli-root workspace
A mutli-root workspace is a workspace that manages multiple directories/folders.
Some (or all?) of the meta data associated with a multi-root workspace is contained in a
wrkspcName.code-workspace JSON file.
Transient workspace
A
transient workspace
- will not be opened when VS Code is restarted or reloaded
- does not show up in the list of recently opened workspaces
A workspace becomes transient by setting its transient property to true in the .code-workspace file:
{
"folder" : [],
"transient"" true
}
