About

Freshin is a Chrome extension designed to make web development easier by automatically refreshing your browser when changes are detected in a specified directory in Visual Studio Code (VS Code). This is an ideal tool for developers who need a fast, seamless way to see updates without manually reloading the page.

Key Features:
Auto-Refresh on File Change: Refreshes the browser instantly whenever any file in the specified directory is saved in VS Code.
Keyword-Based Tab Refresh: Target specific browser tabs by adding a keyword in this extension’s settings. Only tabs with the specified keyword in the URL will refresh, allowing for more focused updates.
Example: If you set the keyword to "localhost," only tabs with "localhost" in the URL will refresh when you save changes in VS Code.
Seamless Integration with VS Code Freshin Extension: Works with the Freshin extension for VS Code, keeping your editor and browser synchronized for smooth development.
Easy Setup: Simply install both the Freshin VS Code extension and this Chrome extension, configure the directory and keyword, and you’re ready to go!
How to Use:
Install the Freshin extension in VS Code and specify the directory to watch.
Install this Freshin Chrome extension, and set a keyword if you want to refresh specific tabs only.
Edit files in the specified directory and see your changes automatically reflected in relevant browser tabs.
Note: Both the Freshin VS Code extension and this Chrome extension must be installed to enable the auto-refresh functionality.

Streamline your development workflow with Freshin, saving you time and effort by keeping your browser in sync with your code changes!
