File Nesting Config ^{for VS Code}

Requires VS Code v1.67

VS Code Extension

We now have a new VS Code extension to handle the updates automatically for you.

Check the readme for instructions.

Update Manually

Open your VS Code, bring up your settings.json, copy-n-paste the snippet below, and you are good to go :)
