Description

ShellMate is a terminal manager extension for vscode.

Right now this extension differ between single and multi root projects. For single root projects the configuration will always be stored within the .vscode folder.

For multi root projects you can choose a custom path (without the name of the settings file). This location will be stored within the .code-workspace file.

Features

• Create as many terminals as you want
• Create split terminals
• Auto create terminals on vscode startup
• Auto execute commands
• Define where the config file should be stored
• Works for single root and multi root projects
