How Do You Rename a Workspace in VS Code?

Published in VS Code 1 min read

You can rename a workspace in VS Code by following these simple steps:

  1. Open the Command Palette: Press Ctrl+Shift+P (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+Shift+P (macOS) to open the Command Palette.
  2. Type "Rename Workspace": Begin typing "Rename Workspace" in the Command Palette. As you type, VS Code will suggest the command.
  3. Select the Command: Choose the "Rename Workspace" command from the suggestions.
  4. Enter the New Name: A prompt will appear asking for the new name of your workspace. Enter the desired name and press Enter.

VS Code will then rename your workspace, updating the associated folder and files.

Example:

Let's say your current workspace is named "My Project." To rename it to "New Project," you would:

  • Open the Command Palette.
  • Type "Rename Workspace."
  • Select the command.
  • Enter "New Project" in the prompt.

VS Code will rename the workspace and its associated files.

Note: Renaming a workspace will not affect the files within the workspace. It will only rename the workspace folder and the .code-workspace file.
