Settings Sync

Description¶

Syncs VSCODE Config Settings Across Dev Envs:

• Extensions Settings
• Keyboard Shortcuts
• Profiles
• User Settings
• User Snippets
• UI State
• User Tags

Settings Files¶

Alphabetizing facilitates mods and reduces dups.

• User Settings: ~/.config/Code/User/settigns.json
• User Snippets: ~/.config/Code/User/snippets

Using .dotfiles¶

To ease VSCode config for new dev envs, .dotfiles could be used instead of VSCode's built-in settings sync.

See New Dev Env and the Dotfiles Project.

Move Settings Files to .dotfiles:

mv ~/.config/Code/User/settings.json ~/.dotfiles/code/.config/Code/User/settings.json
mv ~/.config/Code/User/snippets/ ~./dotfiles/code/.config/Code/User/snippets

Link to .dotfiles

cd ~/.dotfiles
stow code
