What is a vscode workspace?
A workspace is a collection of folders
You can open a folder in the context of a work space. In other words you can "add folder to a work space"
Or you can open a folder that is outside of any work space
You can open and close a work space
If you "add folder to a workspace" and there is no work space in place, it opens an untitled workspace
You can do a save as on a workspace
You can open a workspace later using the saved workspaces
A work space details is kept in a file with an extension of .workspace
Settings can be overridden at a) global level - user b) work space level c) folder level
Folders that are open without a work space are then by extension in the default or nameless work space
What I know so far!

Whats up with command line confusion?
My goal here is how to run an integrated terminal that has all the right paths set to run a node.js command. This means running a .bat or a .cmd file when the integrated command line opens. I also want to have the option to run a git command line in the same work space and want to have that option.
This is commonly referred to as "integrated terminal"
There appears to be complex semantics around this beast
Out of the box one can set this command line experience to be either the standard cmd.exe or a powershell. But not both (I think!)
There is an extension called "Shell Launcher" that will provide the ability to have multiple options such as a) node shell b) bash shell c) power shell etc.
There is something called a "Command Palette" in vscode where these shells are exposed to be kicked off.
I have briefly also installed "Start Any Shell" extension. But this appears to be for external shells and not the integrated kind.
I was not able to pass command line arguments to these shells that allows me to set the paths needed for say a node command line.
However I was able to directly set the command pointing to a .bat file that seem to have done the trick
I would like to play with the args explicitly to see if that works instead!

The nodevars.bat is typically would have been invoked from the windows start menu as
C:\\Windows\\System32\\cmd.exe /k C:\\satya\\i\\node\\nodevars.bat
I wonder what the difference is by employing the shortcut I used! wonder if the same thing can be accomplished via args params.

Integrated command line or corresponding extensions really suck
Really nothing worked
Even the .bat or .cmd files as a target didn't work too well
So I just used the native without extensions
At least the native one opens up the command line at the right directly, which is half the battle
Then I created c:\satya\utils\set-node-env.cmd and set-git-env.cmd etc which I execute manually once.

@rem * location: c:\satya\data\codebase\utils

How best to clone in vscode a repo
Go to command palette (ctrl-shift-p)
type: git
choose: git: clone
You will be prompted for repo URL
you will be prompted for a local directory
Vscode will ask you in the end to add that folder to the current workspace if you choose.
This is a much better option than doing a git init on a folder and starting from there
satya - 10/11/2019, 5:39:09 PM
Yes you can have multiple repos under the same workspace
workspace .workspace in a diff directory
many source folders opened underneath
//repo 1 root folder
folder1
.git
//repo 2 root folder
folder2
.git
//some untracked root folder
folder3
satya - 1/17/2020, 3:15:39 PM
Further notes on git:clone
1. It uses the name of the repo on the server as a directory name. Let me call it "abc-repo"
2. It then asks a root directory name to place that folder under. Exmaple "some-root"
3. The created repo directory on local will be "some-root\abc-repo"
4. Once created you can change the directory names if you like.
5. If you change directory names VSCode will loose track of the previous folder that was attached to the workspace. You will then need to remove the old folder and attach the new folder.
satya - 1/17/2020, 3:16:54 PM
May be a good naming standards will be
c:\repos -- root directory
\some-code1-repo\other code directories
\some-code2-repo\other code directories
