Feature proposal: sftp context by git branch

Just a proposal, maybe you like it

Example config

[
  {
    "context-git-branch": "master",
    "remotePath": "/remote/public_html",
    (...) 
  },
  {
    "context-git-branch": "dev",
    "remotePath": "/remote/staging", 
    (...) 
  }
]

So when switching branches, the sftp context would change as well

Thanks! I’m now using different config files, like this

.vscode/sftp-live.json
.vscode/sftp-dev.json
.vscode/sftp.json

And depending on the context I just paste the content of one of the first files into sftp.json (much more robust than renaming all the time)

So probably in the post-checkout-hook it would only need something like cp .vscode/sftp-{branchname} .vscode/sftp.json

Not depending on the git branch, but here’s a working example for SFTP with multiple profiles (on mac with pubkey, same server).

{
    "name": "multi profile",
    "protocol": "sftp",
    "host": "server.com",
    "port": 123,
    "privateKeyPath": "/Users/mac_username/.ssh/id_rsa",
    "uploadOnSave": true,
    "username": "hosting_username",
    "agent": "$SSH_AUTH_SOCK",
    "passphrase": true,
    "profiles": {
        "dev": {
            "name": "dev",
            "remotePath": "/path/to/dev/"
        },
        "live": {
            "name": "live",
            "remotePath": "/path/to/prod/"
        }
    },
    "defaultProfile": "live"
}

Switch with cmd+Shift+P `SFTP: Change profile`
Control at the bottom of vscode:
