selecting workspace folders alters the workspace configuration

Hello. The extension is great, except one thing, which renders the extension unusable to me:

It alters [workspace].code-workspace when switching workspace folders (its okay when it syncs packages). You understand that the purpose of this file is storing project (monorepo) settings to other vs-code users? If it keeps changing for every user individually workspace selection, you have to .gitignore it, which renders the purpose of storing cross-user settings pointless - extension recommendations btw. indicating the point of file is to share, not to ignore - why should I recommend extensions to myself?

Is there any way to prevent or workaround this behavior? TI hope there is a solution because otherwise the extension is great. Thanks in advance.

Hey there,

I am afraid I am stumbling on the issue you described above. In short:

We'd like to have custom workspaces - i.e. with predefined selected of folders and terminals - and would like to have these .code-workspace files saved on the repo.

The problem is the Monorepo extension just overwrittes these files once we switch from these custom workspaces to the Monorepo extension-created workspaces.
