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 (?))

A workspace can be opened from the command line with code path/to/workspace.

.vscode directory

The .vscode directory stores workspace-specific settings at the root of a project and overrides global user settings.

This directory stores

`settings.json`	Project-specific settings
`tasks.json`	Shared task and build commands (apparently used to customize Run and Debug), see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=733558
`launch.json`	Debug configuration, see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=830387
`extension.json`	Project-specific extensions, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=827846

The settings for a single folder workspace are stored in the folder's .vscode/settings.json file.

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.

A transient workspace

A workspace becomes transient by setting its transient property to true in the .code-workspace file:

{
   "folder"   : [],
   "transient"" true
}
