Project Tree Organizer

Project Tree Organizer shows a custom tree of your local projects in the Activity Bar.

Features

• Project categories and projects are loaded from a JSON config file.
• Open config directly from the view.
• Add projects via Project Tree: Add Project wizard (select folder, name and category). Paths inside ~/ are stored relative to make configs portable.
• Edit or remove existing projects from the tree (rename, change path/icon, move to another category).
• Create, rename, move or delete categories directly from the tree (including nested ones).
• Add projects straight from a category row (or keep them at the top level) and choose whether to delete or move nested content when removing a category.
• Customize project icons via the optional icon field (uses Codicon IDs).
• Edit projects.json with auto-complete and inline validation thanks to the bundled JSON schema.
• The tree auto-refreshes whenever you edit projects.json in global storage.
• Refresh the tree.
• Open a project in the current window or in a new window.

Config location

The config is stored in VS Code global storage:

<globalStorage>/projects.json

You can open it from the view using Project Tree: Edit Config.

Config format

{
  "Work": {
    "projects": [
      {
        "label": "My Project",
        "path": "~/projects/my-project",
        "icon": "symbol-function"
      }
    ],
    "Client": {
      "projects": [
        { "label": "Client App", "path": "/home/user/projects/client-app" }
      ]
    }
  }
}

icon is optional. Provide any Codicon identifier (for example symbol-method, github, terminal). If omitted, VS Code's default project icon is used.
