🧼 Why No More .vscode?

When learning C, C++, Rust, Go, or Java, VS Code often litters your project directories with:

  • .vscode/tasks.json & .vscode/launch.json
  • Compiled binary files (.exe, .o, .out) sitting right next to your clean source code files.

No More .vscode automatically isolates all compiled binaries to a single global build directory (C:\VscodeBuilds) and cleans up stray executables automatically!


🔥 Key Features

  • 🛡️ Global Binary Output: All C, C++, C#, Rust binaries are built in C:\VscodeBuilds exclusively.
  • 🧹 Local Clutter Cleanup: Automatically removes local executables and unwanted .vscode folders from project root.
  • ✨ Clean Repositories: Your Git status stays pristine without needing heavy .gitignore rules for binaries.
