How can I disable CMake in some project folders of a VSCode workspace?

I have a project that uses git-repo so it contains multiple repos. The only way I can find of supporting this in VSCode is to use multi-root workspaces and add each repo as a separate folder within the workspace. Some of these repos use CMake but some don't. I find that when I open the workspace I get messages for these repos like:

CMakeLists.txt was not found in the root of the folder 'MyFolder'

then VSCode attempts to setup CMake by creating a Build directory containing a bunch of default files. I also get:

CMake Tools would like to configure IntelliSense for the 'MyFolder' folder.

Is there any way to tell CMake to ignore a folder, maybe a setting in the .code-workspace file?

git-repo visual-studio-code cmake

I guess you installed Cmake Tools extension in VScode, it will automatically run when a folder is opened. To avoid run cmake on specific folder, you can try create .vscode/settings.json on your folder. And set "cmake.configureOnOpen": false
