FAQPage Schema
How do I organize VS Code workspace files without moving them on disk?

You can organize VS Code workspace files without moving them by grouping them into virtual, non-destructive groups. This stores group definitions in a local JSON file, leaving the actual on-disk project structure completely untouched.

Can I group project files automatically by extension or date in VS Code?

Yes, you can group project files automatically by extension or date. The skill supports exploring project structure with glob patterns and applying automatic grouping rules to organize files into virtual groups.

What is the best way to navigate large multi-repo projects in VS Code?

The best way to navigate large multi-repo projects is to organize files into virtual groups by workstream or topic. This allows you to cluster relevant files together across repositories without altering their physical disk locations.

Does virtual file grouping modify my existing project directory structure?

No, virtual file grouping is completely non-destructive. It records your file groupings and patterns in a local configuration file, ensuring your actual project directory structure remains unmodified on disk.

How do I create and manage virtual groups for my project files?

You create and manage virtual groups by defining a group name, then adding or removing files from it as needed. You can also rename, delete, and reorder these groups to suit your specific workflow.
