A script for generating the requisite directory structure for VSCode's "Local History" plugin

README.md

Having installed VSCode's Local History plugin I found that I was getting ENOENT errors. This command will generate the required directory structure within your projects .history folder.

Please Note: This will remove any existing .history folder from your project.

Installation

1. Open your .bash_profile or .zshrc file
2. Add script.sh to the bottom of the file
3. Either restart your terminal, or run source .bash_profile or source .zshrc

Usage

1. Open Terminal and navigate to your working directory
2. Run the command gen-vshistory
3. Lean back and wait for your .history/ directory to be created

script.sh

gen-vshistory() {
  echo "Cloning directory structure to ./.history"
  rm -rf .history
  rm -rf /tmp/.history
  find . -type d -exec mkdir -p -- /tmp/.history/{} \;
  mv /tmp/.history ./.history
}
