This is the official repository for:
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=mayerwin.RenameVisualStudioWindowTitle

Initial release page here:

Description

This lightweight extension allows changing the window title of Visual Studio to include a folder tree with a configurable min depth and max depth distance from the solution/project file, and the use of special tags to help with many other possible scenarios (Git, Mercurial, SVN, TFS...).

Solution-specific overriding rules are available as well to cover virtually any possible renaming needs.

It can also be configured so that the rules apply only when at least two instances of Visual Studio are running with the same window title.

Documentation

Full documentation is available on the Visual Studio Marketplace page.
