Introducing Code Modes

Lately, I've been finding myself showing/hiding folders/files again and again depending on what I am doing. To make this easier, I created a VSCode extension called Code Modes.

About The Project

Ever found yourself going to the settings to show/hide folders/files again and again depending on whether you are Git debugger man or Configuration man? This extension does exactly that, hiding/showing folders/files depending on what you are doing.

Getting Started

To install the extension follow these simple steps.

Prerequisites

You need VSCode installed.

Installation

1. Open the extension sidebar panel in VSCode
2. Search for code-modes. (Be sure to find the right one!)
3. Click install to install it.

OR

1. Clone this repo
2. cd (fcd?) into it
3. run code --install-extension code-modes-1.0.0.vsix

Usage

This extension exposes a command and a status bar item

Use the command Code Modes: Change mode…

Basically, there are a bunch of modes, which you can choose. When you are in a certain mode, certain files get excluded from the file tree.

For now, the extension is very basic (I made it in 1 day and I had the most amazing feeling when it worked bug-free) and there is no way to add custom modes, etc.

If you have any suggestions for any modes, feel free to comment!

Thanks! It's pretty basic but I will improve sometime.
