  1. Ignore the scary warning VS Code shows you when you press the button.

I dunno, “discard changes” is usually not the same as “delete all files”

[–] Starbuck@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What exactly do you think discard means?

[–] Hawke@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

“Changes” are not the same thing as “files”.

I’d expect that files that are not in version control would not be touched.

Apparently, it means changes to the directory structure and what files are in them, not changes within the files themselves. It really ought to be more clear about this.

Yeah. They did substantially modify the message to make it much clearer, thankfully.
