👻 DevGhost for VSCode

Hunt down dead code in real-time! 🚫👻

DevGhost helps you keep your codebase clean by automatically detecting and removing unused imports and dead code directly within VSCode.

✨ Features

  • 🔍 Real-time Diagnostics: See unused imports and variables highlighted as you type.
  • ⚡ Fix Entire Workspace: Automatically remove unused imports across your entire project in one click!
  • 🚀 Blazing Fast: Analyzes thousands of files in seconds using parallel processing.
  • 🧹 Quick Fixes: Auto-remove unused imports from the current file instantly.
  • 🛡️ Safe & Reliable: Smart filtering ensures node_modules and build folders are ignored.

🎮 Commands

Open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P or Cmd+Shift+P) and type DevGhost:

  • DevGhost: Analyze Current File - Scan the active file for dead code.
  • DevGhost: Analyze Workspace - Scan your entire project (10x faster in v0.1.5!).
  • DevGhost: Fix Current File - Remove unused imports from the active file.
  • DevGhost: Fix Entire Workspace - (NEW) Automatically remove unused imports from ALL files in your project.

⚙️ Configuration

Customize DevGhost in your VSCode settings (settings.json):

{
  "devghost.enable": true,
  "devghost.severity": "Warning", // Options: "Error", "Warning", "Information"
  "devghost.autoFixOnSave": false
}

📦 Requirements

  • VSCode 1.85.0 or higher
  • A TypeScript or JavaScript project

🔧 Troubleshooting

If analysis seems to ignore some files, ensure they are not in your .gitignore or standard build folders (dist, out, build).
