🚫 Tired of typing --version commands every time you switch projects or machines?

I was too. And honestly, it started driving me crazy.

Every time I needed to check which tools I had installed — Node, Python, Docker, Git, Java, TypeScript, you name it — I’d open a terminal and type command after command… just to answer the same questions over and over.

So I built something simple that solved it for me (and maybe for you too).

✅ System Versions Explorer is a lightweight Visual Studio Code extension that automatically detects and displays the versions of your dev tools — directly in the Explorer sidebar. No terminal, no guesswork.

🔄 Just open VS Code, and you’ll instantly see which tools are available and what versions you have installed. Click once to refresh. That’s it.

🔧 Try it on the Marketplace: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=til0r.syv
👉 Contribute on GitHub: https://github.com/Til0r/system-versions

I’d love your feedback ❤️ and feel free to suggest tools to support next!
