Feature Request: Save color per repo in user settings

Our team was excited about this extension, but now we don’t want to use it because the colors are saved to workspace settings (which we use for other shared things), and we don’t want to force a certain color on everyone for each repo (we’d be bikeshedding for days if we had to decide on that) 😕

Is there any way to have the option to save color settings per directory / repo in user settings rather than in workspace settings?

I have 0 knowledge of VS Code extension development, but I’d be willing to take a crack at implementing this given some time. Not sure how much effort it might be. Looks like maybe this function is a good place to start:

export async function updateConfiguration<T>(
  setting: AllSettings,
  value?: T | undefined
) {
  let config = vscode.workspace.getConfiguration();
  return await config.update(
    `${extSuffix}.${setting}`,
    value,
    vscode.ConfigurationTarget.Global
  );
}

Thanks!

You make great points. The current approach requires you to not commit your changes if you dont want it to affect your colleagues.

We are exploring ideas on how to do this in #7

Please join the discussion … I’m very open to ideas
