The March 2022 release of VS Code provided a new feature called Local history. It provides a mechanism to keep track of local file changes independent of source control.
The idea behind this project is provide a way to locate and filter all snapshots created by the Local history feature. It was born out of the necessity to restore two days worth of files lost via a misplaced rm -rf *.
