Log Plus is a Visual Studio Code extension designed to simplify and enhance the process of navigating log files. Spending countless hours searching through logs, I often found myself repeatedly looking for the same patterns in different files. This inspired me to create Log Plus—a tool to make working with log files more efficient and less tedious.

Convert files to a "-plus" version
Safeguard your original log files by creating editable copies with a "-plus" suffix.
Revert changes made to "-plus" files
Quickly undo modifications to "-plus" files to restore their original state.
