Project Snapshot Generator

This VSCode extension generates a snapshot of your project's directory structure and file content, useful for documentation, debugging, and reporting.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

  • Visual Studio Code (version 1.93.0 or higher)

Installing

  1. Open Visual Studio Code.
  2. Go to the Extensions view (Ctrl+Shift+X or Cmd+Shift+X).
  3. Search for "Project Snapshot Generator".
  4. Click the "Install" button.

Usage

This extension provides three commands:

  1. Generate Snapshot Once: Generates a snapshot of your project's current state. The snapshot is saved as a text file named "snapshot.txt" in the root directory of your workspace.
  2. Start Watching: Starts watching for file changes in your workspace. The snapshot is updated automatically whenever you add, modify, or remove files.
  3. Stop Watching: Stops watching for file changes.

You can access these commands through the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P or Cmd+Shift+P) or by right-clicking in the explorer pane and selecting the "Generate Project Snapshot" option.

Features

  • Ignores .git and node_modules directories: Prevents unnecessary clutter in the snapshot.
  • Omits content for binary, secret, and large files: Protects sensitive information and keeps the snapshot concise.
  • Provides options for customization: Allows you to specify the output file name, ignored directories, and file size limit.
