Error Sound Alert is a lightweight Visual Studio Code extension that plays a sound whenever a terminal command fails (non-zero exit code). It helps you instantly notice errors without constantly watching the terminal.
🚀 Features

Plays a sound when a terminal command exits with an error.
🎯 Accurate Detection
Uses exit codes instead of unreliable keyword matching.
🎵 Custom Sound მხარდაჭერა
Easily change the alert sound to your preference.
⚙️ How It Works

If a command exits with a non-zero exit code, a sound is played.
No false positives from console.log or print statements.

Ctrl + Shift + P
