## What it is
A maintained configuration snippet and VS Code extension that configures VS Code's file nesting feature to group related files in the explorer. It provides opinionated nesting patterns for lockfiles, env files, and framework configs, with scripts to keep patterns up to date.

## Use cases
- clean up cluttered vs code file explorer
- group lockfiles and config files under a parent file
- keep file nesting patterns updated automatically
- declutter node_modules-adjacent config files in vscode
- apply opinionated file nesting settings to settings.json

## When to choose
- you use VS Code v1.67+ and want a tidier explorer tree
- you want maintained, community-driven nesting patterns without hand-writing globs
- you prefer automatic updates via the companion extension

## When to avoid
- you use an editor other than VS Code
- you want full control over your own nesting patterns
- you dislike opinionated defaults

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: active
- function: configuration-management, developer-tools, editor
- domain: developer-tools, text-editors
- platform: editor-plugin, cross-platform
