📁 hover-explainer — Understand Your Project at a Glance

hover-explainer is a lightweight VS Code extension that shows contextual tooltips on hover over files and folders in the Explorer. Ideal for large teams, onboarding, and open source contributors.

🛠 Features

• 📝 Hover over any file/folder to see its description
• ⚙️ .fileDescriptions.json is auto-maintained:
  • Automatically adds new files/folders
  • Removes deleted ones
  • Updates on rename
• ✅ Simple JSON-based config, easily version-controlled
• 🔍 Helps you understand codebase structure at a glance

📂 How it Works

1. On first use, the extension creates a .fileDescriptions.json file in your root directory.
2. When files/folders are created, renamed, or deleted, the file is updated automatically.
3. Add or edit descriptions manually in that JSON file.
