Show the go.mod module name of the file you're editing in the VS Code status bar.
Handy when you juggle several Go repos or git worktrees whose folder names don't tell
you which module you're in (e.g. randomly-named worktree checkouts). Instead of a cryptic
folder name, the status bar reads the real module — experience.
Features
- 📦 Reads the
moduleline from the nearestgo.mod(walking up from the active file) and shows its last segment in the status bar. - 🖱️ Click the item to jump straight to that
go.mod. - 🔁 Updates automatically when you switch files, change workspace folders, or edit
go.mod. - 🧭 Nested-module aware — in a monorepo it shows the module that actually owns the file.
- 🙈 Hides itself in non-Go projects.
