getreadystack/gnu-global-cpp-vscode-config-pack repository overview

⁠GNU Global C/C++ .vscode Config Pack

21 rules that read the values in a shared .vscode folder, plus 45 snippets. VS Code loads a wrong value without a word - this names the line and the fix.

⁠Run

docker run --rm -v "$PWD":/work getreadystack/gnu-global-cpp-vscode-config-pack /work/file

The same 21 rules as the VS Code extension, in a container. Mount a folder on /work.

⁠Free

• Runs all 21 rules on the .vscode file you have open and reports every finding with its line number, and inserts any of the 45 snippets - nine groups covering gtags tasks, c_cpp_properties, gist workspaces, formatter save-actions, Dark+ overrides, Tailwind, ASP.NET Core launch profiles, MicroProfile Java and keybindings - at the cursor. No key, no limit, no watermark. One file is finished, completely.
• --rules lists every rule

⁠With a licence ($29 once)

• The same 21 rules across every config file in the repository at once, the findings written out as a CSV, JSON or HTML file you keep, and your team's own rules checked alongside the built-in 21.

docker run --rm -e READYSTACK_LICENSE=<key> -v "$PWD":/work getreadystack/gnu-global-cpp-vscode-config-pack --dir /work --ci

A freelance senior software engineer in the US averages $101/hour in 2026 (contractrates.fyi; mid-level ~$73/hour). Finding one silently-ignored .vscode value by hand costs more than an hour of that.
