Installation

Install Terminal Keeper from one of these registries:

• Visual Studio Marketplace
• Open VSX Registry

Why use Terminal Keeper?

Terminal Keeper is useful when you often open the same terminals for a project, such as a dev server, test watcher, background worker, or documentation server. Instead of reopening and retyping commands manually, save those workflows as sessions and activate them when you need them.

Highlights

• 🚀 Launch repeatable terminal workflows with a single command.
• 🔄 Automatically restore sessions whenever VS Code starts.
• 🗂️ Organize terminals into named sessions for different projects or environments.
• 📥 Import commands from package.json, composer.json, Makefile, Pipfile, Gradle, Ant, Grunt, Gulp, and more.
• 🎨 Customize terminal colors and icons or let Terminal Keeper generate them automatically.
• ⌨️ Run terminals directly from keyboard shortcuts using built-in keybinding support.
• 🧩 Works with both Visual Studio Marketplace and Open VSX.
• 🚫 No ads. No telemetry. No unnecessary setup.
