TERMINAL COMMANDER
Commander is a small plugin that allows you to add, edit, save and remove custom commands in your coding projects.
The plugin should stay lightweight, fast, efficient and should not include too many features, it will simply focus on project-related command management.
Features
The main usage of commander is to declare project-scoped terminal commands that can be started in the main terminal.
The extension can also auto-parse package.json commands and allow to run them with a custom runner (npm by default).
You can also tell commander to run your command inside a new terminal.
Here is a complete list of supported features :
- Project-scoped command configuration
- Add, edit and delete commands from your commander
- Run a command in the current active terminal
- Run a command in a new terminal
- Hot reload of the commands when editing the configuration
- Auto-parsing of the package.json commands
How to use
Simply add your commands in .vscode/commander.json, using the sample model provided, and save the file.
Done ! You'll have your newly updated command list accessible when using commander actions.
You can also access your commands through the commander webview directly.
