scratch

scratch creates and tracks local temporary development environments.

Install

go install github.com/chargeflux/scratch@latest

Usage

scratch uses pebble to track environments in $HOME/.config/scratch/data on Linux/macOS and %AppData% on Windows.

Environments are created in $HOME/.local/share/scratch on Linux/macOS and %LocalAppData% on Windows.

scratch respects XDG_CONFIG_HOME and XDG_DATA_HOME.

Newly created environments automatically open in VS Code but this behavior can be overridden.
