Copy All Files

A simple VS Code extension to copy file contents or the project structure (tree) to your clipboard, with customizable ignore rules.

Usage

• Copy Content: Click the $(copy) icon in the status bar. This copies the text content of all allowed files.

• Copy Tree: Run Copy Project Structure (Tree) from the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P). This copies the visual layout of your files and folders.

Configuration

You can add custom ignore rules by editing the .vscode/copy-all-files/ignore.txt file in your workspace. It will be created with the following default content:

# Add relative paths to ignore, one per line
Examples:
prueba\test.py
src\temp
docs\draft.md
*.backup
temp-folder
specific-file.txt
logs\*.log
build\output

Example

Given the following project structure:

my-project/
├── src/
│   ├── index.js
│   └── styles.css
├── images/
│   └── logo.png
└── package.json

Content Output

The Copy Content command will generate this in your clipboard, ignoring the .png file:

# src/index.js

console.log("Hello1!");
console.log("Hello2!");
console.log("Hello3!");
console.log("Hello4!");

---

# src/styles.css

body {
  margin: 0;
}

---

# package.json

{
  "name": "my-project",
  "version": "1.0.0"
}

Tree Output

The Copy Tree command will generate this, showing the file structure including the .png:

my-project/
├── src/
│   ├── index.js
│   └── styles.css
├── images/
│   └── logo.png
└── package.json
