If you click "Yes", an ignore_files.txt file needs to be generated. Please add the files and directories you would like to ignore, then save the file. Once saved, your codebase will be automatically archived in the workspaceArchiver.txt file. Every time you make a change in a file that you did not ignore, the workspaceArchiver.txt will be updated automatically.

Enjoy streamlined productivity with your codebase snapshots!

Disclaimer

The Workspace Archiver extension is designed to help you create a snapshot of your codebase that can be easily shared or referenced in generative AI platforms. Before using this extension, please be aware that any code or data you choose to archive may be exposed when shared in such platforms. We strongly advise you to remove or redact any sensitive or proprietary information from your code before archiving and sharing it. The extension itself does not filter or remove sensitive data automatically, so it is your responsibility to ensure that only appropriate content is included in the archive. Use this tool with caution and always prioritize the security and confidentiality of your information.
