Recover Previous Versions of VS Code Files

If you accidently overwrite a file in VS Code (with uncommitted changes…), you might get lucky and find it in VS Code caches.

cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/Code

Then look around in in User/History/

If you remember part of the contents, I’d suggest using grep (I prefer rg) to find files with that bit of text:

rg -l <TEXT>
