localhero README

Localhero is a simple vscode plugin to help you document dev environment errors on the go. Simply visit ">localhero:log error" to document your errors and ">localhero:Search Existing Errors" to find any previously documented errors.

This plugin seems simple but with the power of a crowdsourced dev environment json file, you and your team should be able to get that troublesome dev environment to behave.

Features

localhero is a simple vscode plugin that has two options: log error and search for existing errors

log error creates a form to input local dev environment errors and other helpful details

search existing errors allows you search for dev environment errors that have been documented!

As with any other vscode plugin: simply go to cmd + p and search for ">localhero"
