🚫 Tired of typing –version commands every time you switch projects or machines?

I was too. And honestly, it started driving me crazy.

Every time I needed to check which tools I had installed — Node, Python, Docker, Git, Java, TypeScript, you name it — I’d open a terminal and type command after command… just to answer the same questions over and over.

So I built something simple that solved it for me (and maybe for you too).

System Versions Explorer is a lightweight Visual Studio Code extension that automatically detects and displays the versions of your dev tools — directly in the Explorer sidebar. No terminal, no guesswork.

Just open VS Code, and you’ll instantly see which tools are available and what versions you have installed. Click once to refresh. That’s it.

Try it on the Marketplace: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=til0r.syv

I’d love your feedback and feel free to suggest tools to support next!
