See and control your local dev ports without leaving the editor.

Features

  • Port tree in the sidebar — all services monitored by Gretl, grouped and colour-coded by status
  • Start / stop / open — inline action buttons on every port row
  • Status bar widget — running port count always visible at the bottom of the window
  • Quick pick — Gretl: Show Ports command palette picker for keyboard-driven workflows
  • Auto-refresh — polls the local Gretl daemon every 5 s (configurable)

Install the CLI:

npm install -g @gretl/cli

Then start the daemon:

gr daemon start

Install this extension

code --install-extension Gretl.gretl
