About Linker
The ultimate VS Code extension for managing file dependencies
What is Linker?
Linker is a powerful Visual Studio Code extension designed to eliminate one of the most tedious tasks in software development: manually updating import statements when files are moved or renamed.
Built with modern development workflows in mind, Linker automatically detects when you move, rename, or reorganize files and intelligently updates all corresponding import statements throughout your codebase.
