+save-sync — VS Code extension to create and manage working save points (project snapshots).
 
-![Global Save State Logo](icon.jpg)
+Note: This project was formerly named "Global Save State" (repo: Global-Save-State). The old name and repository path will continue to redirect, but this README and package metadata have been updated to reflect the new name "save-sync" (display name: Save Sync).
 
-**Create checkpoints in your code projects just like save points in video games!**
+Quick summary
+- Create lightweight project snapshots (save points) inside VS Code so you can return to previous working states quickly.
+- Local, fast, and workspace-focused snapshots — useful for experiments, refactors, and risky changes.
 
-*Perfect for experiments, tutorials, learning, and quick prototypes where full version control feels like overkill*
+Install
+- Install from the VS Code Marketplace (when published) or install the .vsix file.

+Quick start
+1. Open the Command Palette (Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+P).
+2. Run "Save Sync: Create save point" to save the current workspace state.
+3. Run "Save Sync: Restore save point" to revert to a previously saved snapshot.

+Notes for maintainers
+- package.json's "name" and "displayName" fields should be updated to "save-sync" and "Save Sync" respectively.
+- Ensure repository, bugs, and homepage URLs in package.json point to https://github.com/Life-Experimentalist/save-sync.

-## 🎯 Why Save Points for Code?
-
-Remember playing **Zelda** and hitting that checkpoint right before `Ganondorf`? Or **`Dark Souls`** where you desperately needed that bonfire before the boss? **`Global Save State`** brings that same peace of mind to coding!
-
-### 🎮 Perfect Gaming Scenarios:
-
-| 🎯 **Game Situation**           | 💻 **Code Equivalent**             |
-| ------------------------------ | --------------------------------- |
-| 🏰 **Save before boss fight**   | Save before major refactoring     |
-| 🧪 **Try different strategies** | Experiment with new approaches    |
-| 📚 **Chapter checkpoints**      | Milestone completion in tutorials |
-| 🎨 **Creative experimentation** | Art projects, creative coding     |
-| ⚡ **Speed runs**               | Rapid prototyping cycles          |
-| 🔄 **Multiple playthroughs**    | Different implementation attempts |
-
-### 🚀 When to Use Your Code Save Points:
-- **🧪 Experiments**: Try wild ideas without fear - restore if they don't work
-- **📚 Learning**: Checkpoint your progress while following tutorials
-- **🚀 Prototyping**: Quick saves for rapid iteration cycles
-- **🔧 Refactoring**: Save before major changes, restore if things break
-- **🎨 Creative Coding**: Art projects, game jams, creative experiments
-- **📝 Documentation**: Save states while writing examples or demos
-
-### 🚫 When to Use Git Instead:
-- Large production codebases
-- Team collaboration projects
-- Code that needs detailed history tracking
-- Professional development workflows

-| 🎯 **Game Feature**       | 💻 **Global Save State** | 🔥 **Why It's Awesome**       |
-| ------------------------ | ----------------------- | ---------------------------- |
-| 💾 **Quick Save**         | `Ctrl+Shift+S`          | Instant checkpoint creation  |
-| 🔄 **Quick Load**         | `Ctrl+Alt+R`            | Instant project restoration  |
-| 📍 **Named Saves**        | "Before AI Integration" | Descriptive checkpoint names |
-| 🎯 **Save Slots**         | Up to 50 per project    | Multiple restore points      |
-| ⚡ **No Loading Screens** | Instant restore         | Zero wait time               |
-| 🎪 **Multiple Campaigns** | Multi-root workspaces   | Independent save systems     |
-
-### 🚀 Core Features
-
-- **💾 Create Named Save Points**: Capture your entire project state with custom names

-
-## 🎮 Quick Start Guide - Your First Save Point!
-
-### 🕹️ Tutorial Mode (5 minutes)
-
-**Step 1: Set the Scene** 🎬
-```bash
-# Open any project in VS Code
-# Make some changes to your files
-# Now you're ready for your first checkpoint!
-```
-
-**Step 2: Create Your First Save Point** 💾
-1. Press `Ctrl+Shift+S` (your "Save Game" button)
-2. Name it: **"Tutorial Checkpoint 1"**
-3. Watch the magic happen! ✨
-
-**Step 3: Make Some Changes** 🔨
-```javascript
-// Add some experimental code
-function experimentalFeature() {
-    // This might break everything...
-    return 'risky code here';
-}
-```
-
-**Step 4: Create Another Checkpoint** 📍
-1. Press `Ctrl+Shift+S` again
-2. Name it: **"Added Experimental Feature"**
-
-**Step 5: Oh No! Something Broke!** 💥
-1. Press `Ctrl+Alt+R` (your "Load Game" button)
-2. Select **"Tutorial Checkpoint 1"**
-3. **BOOM!** 🎉 You're back to safety!
-
-> 💡 **Pro Gamer Tip**: Use descriptive save names like "Before Adding Database", "Working Login System", or "Pre-Boss-Fight-Refactor"
-
-## 🎯 Advanced Usage
-### 💾 Creating Save Points (Quick Save)
-- **🎮 Keyboard**: `Ctrl+Shift+S` (or `Cmd+Shift+S` on Mac)
-- **📝 Command Palette**: `Global Save State: Create Save Point`
-
-**Multi-Workspace Projects:**
-1. If multiple workspace folders are open, select which folder to save
-2. Enter a descriptive name for your save point (think epic checkpoint names!)
-3. The extension captures all files (excluding configured patterns)
-
-### 🔄 Loading Save Points (Quick Load)
-- **🎮 Keyboard**: `Ctrl+Alt+R` (or `Cmd+Alt+R` on Mac)
-- **📝 Command Palette**: `Global Save State: Restore Save Point`
-
-**Restore Process:**
-1. If multiple workspace folders are open, select which folder to restore
-2. Choose from your list of save points (sorted by newest first)
-3. Your project is instantly restored to that exact state
-
-> ⚠️ **Boss Fight Warning**: Just like in games, loading a save point will overwrite your current progress! Save first if you want to keep changes.
-
-## ⚙️ Configuration
-
-### Per-Folder Settings
-Create `.vscode/settings.json` in any workspace folder:
-
-```json
-{
-  "globalSaveState.excludePatterns": [
-    "**/node_modules/**",
-    "**/.git/**",
-    "**/dist/**",
-    "**/build/**",
-    "**/.vscode/**",
-    "**/out/**",
-    "**/*.log"
-  ]
-}
-```
-
-### Global Settings
-- **Max Save Points**: Configure maximum save points to keep (default: 50)
-- **Default Exclusions**: Set global exclusion patterns
-
-## 📋 Requirements
