Project Boss

Quickly switch between projects. No setup required.

How it works

By default, it scans your ~/projects folder for files commonly included in development projects, such as .git, package.json, and supports nesting for better organization, take the below structure, for example.

~/projects

• personal
  • proxy-server
  • website
• acme-mechanical
  • inventory
  • sales
• acme-financial
  • tax-returns
  • payroll

Tip: You can configure how it scans for projects in the settings.
