Magento Theme Override

A VS Code extension that lets you right-click any file inside a Magento module and instantly create a theme override copy in your chosen frontend theme.

Features

• Right-click any file inside app/code/ or vendor/ in the Explorer
• Automatically resolves the Magento module name from registration.php
• Finds all available themes under app/design/frontend/
• Prompts you to pick a theme, then copies the file to the correct override path
• Opens the new file immediately after copying

Usage

1. Open your Magento project in VS Code

2. In the Explorer, right-click a template, layout, or web asset inside a module — for example:

   vendor/magento/module-catalog/view/frontend/templates/product/view.phtml
   

3. Select Create Magento theme override

4. Pick a theme from the list

5. The file is copied to the correct location and opened:

   app/design/frontend/Vendor/theme/Magento_Catalog/templates/product/view.phtml
   

Requirements

• A Magento 2 project with at least one theme in app/design/frontend/
• The source file must be inside view/frontend/ or view/base/ within its module

Supported file types

Any file under a module's view/frontend/ or view/base/ directory, including:

• Templates (.phtml)
• Layout XML (.xml)
• Web assets — JS, CSS, Less, images

Notes

The module name is read from the module's registration.php. If the file isn't inside a recognised module directory the extension will show an error rather than copying to a wrong path.
