Colors 🌈 help us identify things in our surroundings, including vscode instances and files.
Today I show how I solved two problems I had, thanks to colors and 2 vscode extensions: 👇
1) Identify different vscode instances
This is quite common, you may have a backend and a frontend repo, or simply you’re working on multiple projects and it happens that you have some vscode instance open.
Short answer: Peacock.
You can indeed customize projects from the settings but this extension makes it so much easier.

2) Identify files and folders in the same repo
I was recently playing around with Module Federation, but this applies pretty much in all monorepo scenarios.
I wanted an easy way to know what project a file refers to and with another extension, Folder Path Color, I was able to do that!
