Run your VSCode tasks with ease.
TaskSquirrel provides an easy way to run your defined tasks from the VSCode explorer pane. With optional, user-definable, emojis available, you can make it easy to identify task types from a large list of tasks.
Editing .vscode/tasks.json allows you, and VSCode, to define commands, processes, and workflows that are run often.
You can read more about VSCode Tasks Here.
Any tasks you add to the tasks.json file will automatically display in the TaskSquirrel pane.

Users appreciate release notes as you update your extension.
Initial release.
There are features I want to add in the future, such as:
- Emoji
- Task Templates - Easily create tasks from a button in TaskSquirrel ... and more.
If you have any suggestions, create an issue and I can decide if it's worth adding.
While searching for a solution to running tasks easily, I discovered Task Runner, which is very similar to this extension. I decided to create my own extension to learn about creating VSCode extensions, and to add more features I find useful.
