Dev Sounds — Test, Build & Git Sound Alerts

Hear your code. Plays distinct sounds when tests pass/fail, builds complete, git push/pull finishes, or long commands end.

Zero config. Just install and code.

Features

Test sounds — Jest, Vitest, Mocha, pytest, Go test, Cargo test
Build sounds — Webpack, Vite, Next.js, tsc, any VS Code task
Git sounds — push and pull detection via Git extension API
Long command alert — plays when commands take longer than 10s (configurable)
Mute when focused — only hear sounds when VS Code is in the background
Custom sounds — drop your own files, map via settings
Per-category toggle — enable/disable test, build, git, command sounds independently
Status bar toggle — one-click mute/unmute

For the best experience (real-time terminal output matching), run:

Ctrl+Shift+P → "Dev Sounds: Enable Real-Time Terminal Detection"

This is a one-time setup that enables the proposed terminal data API.

Command	Description
Dev Sounds: Toggle On/Off	Mute/unmute all sounds
Dev Sounds: Preview All Sounds	Play all 7 sounds to test them
Dev Sounds: Enable Real-Time Terminal Detection	One-time setup for proposed API

Terminal watcher buffers terminal output, matches against patterns for test runners and build tools
Git watcher monitors the VS Code Git extension's ahead/behind counts to detect push/pull
Task watcher listens to VS Code task process completions
Command timer tracks how long terminal commands take, plays a sound if they exceed the threshold

All detection is local and lightweight — no network calls, no telemetry.
