title: What is a 'workspace' in Visual Studio Code?
body: <p>For example, Visual Studio Code talks about <a href="https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/settings" rel="noreferrer">applying settings at the user level vs the workspace level</a>.</p>
  <p>On the one hand,</p>
  <ul>
  <li>it could refer to a project directory that you have opened; or</li>
  <li>it could refer to everything you have opened in a particular window.</li>
  </ul>
  <p>The page referenced above says</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>&quot;Workspace: These settings are stored inside your workspace
  in a .vscode folder and only apply when the workspace is opened.&quot;</p>
  </blockquote>
