Open multiple Projects/Folders in Visual Studio Code

Question

How do I open multiple projects/folders in a single Visual Studio Code instance, and open multiple files in single view? Does it has any option for future change request?

Answer 1

You can use this extension known as Project Manager

In this the projects are saved in a file projects.json, just save the project and by pressing Shift + Alt + P you can see the list of all your saved projects, from there you can easily switch your projects.

Answer 2

Not sure why the simplest solution is not mentioned. You can simply do File>New Window and open the other project in the new window.

Answer 3

Or you can just select multiple folders and then click open.

Go to File> Open Folder, then select multiple folders you want to open and click Select Folder

Answer 4

you can create a workspace and put folders in that : File > save workspace as and drag and drop your folders in saved workspace

Answer 6

What I suggest for now is to create symlinks in a folder, since VSCode isn't supporting that feature.

First, make a folder called whatever you'd like it to be.

$ mkdir random_project_folder
$ cd random_project_folder
$ ln -s /path/to/folder1/you/want/to/open folder1
$ ln -s /path/to/folder2/you/want/to/open folder2
$ ln -s /path/to/folder3/you/want/to/open folder3
$ code .

And you'll see your folders in the same VSCode window.
