I have used WebStorm from JetBrains for almost 4 years now. It's a fantastic IDE for many reasons, but one of the best features is that it saves versions of files outside of version control. So if you accidentally delete files or lose files before they are saved by your VCS, WebStorm has a copy of them and there are visual diff tools to use. This feature has saved my ass on more than one occasion.
My question is - for VSCode is there some feature/plugin that will auto-save copies of files as they change? VSCode will save the files to some central location, or perhaps in the .vscode folder in the local workspace?
The feature in WebStorm is available from "Local History -> Show History" from a folder or file. Here is an article about it: https://blog.jetbrains.com/phpstorm/2012/10/using-local-history-for-code-changes-tracking/
