What's in the pack

Installing this pack installs these 8 extensions. Each one works on its own, so you can disable or uninstall any you don't need.

• Nifty Containers: One container view for Podman, Docker, nerdctl and Apple's container CLI: start, stop and remove containers, follow logs, open a shell, inspect, and clean up images.
• Nifty Helm & Kustomize: Helm chart IntelliSense for .Values (completion, hover, go to definition, missing value warnings), include and define navigation, Kustomize path links, and rendered previews.
• Nifty HCL Tools: Fast, lightweight Terraform and OpenTofu support: highlighting, outline, go to definition and references across a module, hovers, completion, undefined-reference errors and formatting.
• Nifty Nginx: nginx config support: syntax highlighting, formatting, directive completion and docs on hover, context checks, and snippets for reverse proxies, SSL and PHP.
• Nifty Shell Format: Format shell scripts (bash, sh, zsh, bats) with shfmt built in: no binary to install, reads .editorconfig, and shows syntax errors.
• Nifty Env: Load .env files into terminals, tasks and debug sessions, switch between .env profiles, hide secret values on screen, and check .env against .env.example.
• Nifty SFTP: Upload on save and sync folders over SFTP, compatible with existing sftp.json files: download, diff with the server, browse remote files, profiles, and passwords kept in the OS keychain.
• Nifty Log Viewer: Read log files faster: colored levels, error counts, jump to the next error, filter by level or text, follow live logs, fold stack traces, and open huge logs.

Install

• VS Code: search for "Nifty DevOps Pack" in the Extensions view, or install from the Visual Studio Marketplace.
