+# Random File Extension for Visual Studio Code
+
+## Overview
+The **Random File** extension for Visual Studio Code allows you to quickly open a random file from the current workspace. Can be quite handy for exploring new projects.
+
+## Features
+- Open a random file from your workspace.
+- Filter files by extensions.
+- Excludes files in the `node_modules` directory.
+
+## Usage
+- After installing the extension, you can trigger the command by:
+  - Opening the Command Palette (`Cmd+Shift+P` on macOS, `Ctrl+Shift+P` on Windows) and typing `Open a random File`.
+
+## Configuration
+You can customize the file extensions that the extension considers by adding the following configuration to your `settings.json`:
+
+```json
+"randomFile.extensions": [".md", ".txt"]
+```
+
