FS comments – File & Folder Comments in VS Code

What it does: Hover over files or folders in the Explorer, and CommentTree shows your custom comments as tooltips. It reads comments from README.md or a comments.tree file in your project.

Example

Suppose your project folder looks like this:

MyProject/
├─ src/
│  ├─ index.ts
│  └─ utils.ts
├─ README.md
└─ package.json

There are two formats available

If your tree is in README.md, include ## Project Structure You can change '## Project Structure' to any other text in settings.

First format:

## Project Structure
MyProject
 src # Contains all source codesdasd
  index.ts # Main entry point
  utils.ts # Utility functions
 package.json # Project configuration

Second Format

## Project Structure
MyProject
├src # Contains all source code
│ ├index.ts # Main entry point
│ └utils.ts # Utility functions
└package.json # Project configuration

What you’ll see in VS Code:

Hover over src/ → Tooltip: "Contains all source code"

Hover over index.ts → Tooltip: "Main entry point"

Hover over utils.ts → Tooltip: "Utility functions"

Hover over package.json → Tooltip: "Project configuration"
