Description

This VS Code extension allows you to quickly start your development environment:

You can optionally configure it via a .vscode/launch.json file.

Installation

1. Install from the VS Code Marketplace: search for Start Dev Env
   or install locally from a .vsix file:

2. (Optional) Create a .vscode/launch.json file to customize your commands:

{

    "commands": [
      "symfony server:stop",
      "symfony server:start"
    ]
  },
  "frontend": {

      "quasar dev"
    ]
  }
}

If the file does not exist, default commands will be used.
