## What it is
Project Manager is a Visual Studio Code extension that lets you save folders and workspaces as named favorite projects and auto-detect Git, Mercurial, SVN, or VS Code projects. It provides a dedicated side bar, tags, status bar indicator, and quick project switching in the same or new window.

## Use cases
- quickly switch between projects in vscode
- save favorite folders and workspaces in vscode
- auto-detect git repositories as projects
- organize projects with tags in vscode
- open a project in a new vscode window
- see which project is currently open in the status bar

## When to choose
- you work across many repositories or workspaces in VS Code and want fast switching
- you want automatic discovery of Git/Mercurial/SVN projects without manual curation
- you want a dedicated side bar and tags to organize projects

## When to avoid
- you use an editor other than VS Code
- you need full project management features like tasks, issues, or timelines rather than project navigation

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: active
- function: developer-tools, workflow-automation
- domain: developer-tools, text-editors
- platform: editor-plugin, cross-platform
- tags: vscode-extension, project-management, workspace-switching, favorites, auto-detection, git-repositories
