So I've recently started using git worktrees and they are magical.
But when using with Visual Studio Code, you will have the current branch name shown on the top (my_branch
), so when you've opened more than 1 project (in my case I have 4 different projects interacting with each other) with the same branch name, you would get confused and have to browse the files to know which project you've opened.
is there a way I can show 2 levels of folder names, like my_project.git/my_branch
?
The window title of Visual Studio Code can be edited as follows:
settings.json
, in either workspace or user scope"window.title": "${rootPath}${separator}${activeEditorMedium}"
and save the file. This will result in a rather long title, but AFAIK there is no pretty way to get just the parent folder's name into the title.Available variables in the title are (copied from VSCode):
Window: Title
Controls the window title based on the active editor. Variables are substituted based on the context:
${activeEditorShort}: the file name (e.g. myFile.txt).
${activeEditorMedium}: the path of the file relative to the workspace folder (e.g. myFolder/myFileFolder/myFile.txt).
${activeEditorLong}: the full path of the file (e.g. /Users/Development/myFolder/myFileFolder/myFile.txt).
${activeFolderShort}: the name of the folder the file is contained in (e.g. myFileFolder).
${activeFolderMedium}: the path of the folder the file is contained in, relative to the workspace folder (e.g. myFolder/myFileFolder).
${activeFolderLong}: the full path of the folder the file is contained in (e.g. /Users/Development/myFolder/myFileFolder).
${folderName}: name of the workspace folder the file is contained in (e.g. myFolder).
${folderPath}: file path of the workspace folder the file is contained in (e.g. /Users/Development/myFolder).
${rootName}: name of the opened workspace or folder (e.g. myFolder or myWorkspace).
${rootPath}: file path of the opened workspace or folder (e.g. /Users/Development/myWorkspace).
${appName}: e.g. VS Code.
${remoteName}: e.g. SSH
${dirty}: an indicator for when the active editor has unsaved changes.
${separator}: a conditional separator (" - ") that only shows when surrounded by variables with values or static text.
