mine is a nifty CLI app that adds a splash of color to your workspace. By choosing a hue from the vast array of CSS named colors, mine allows you to tell your projects apart with just a glance.
Juggling multiple repositories locally was challenging until this tip from Wes Bos of the Syntax podcast came to the rescue. Now, mine handles the once-tedious task of creating VS Code settings for each cloned repo.
Thank you!
