Settings Sync

Sync VSCODE Config

2025-01-07

Synced settings:

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

Eliminate settings sync for Extensions if memory is precipitous.

This is a warning alert with a custom icon.

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
