possible to make all the extension sync with one drive/dropbox/google drive?

[thyeun]

want to request a features to sync all the extension into cloud drive, meaning that when changing a new PC or new device, all the extension from the previous PC can be easily get back, no need to be re-install all the extension again.

Some things that people do to accomplish extension/settings sync with other editors:

• Copy extensions to Google Drive and then symlink the directory to the config dir (~/.vscode/extensions)
• Setup extensions in your dotfiles

These are a little harder to automate on Windows though.

i'm not sure how to make it work on VS code, but for sublime text 2, can use the below line to make it work, for sync with dropbox.

ln -s /Users/yeun/Dropbox/Packages /Users/yeun/Library/Application\ Support/Sublime\ Text\ 2/

Should be just a matter of finding the config path on your OS, try:

• /Users/yeun/Library/Application\ Support/vscode/
• /Users/yeun/.vscode/
• or similar

thanks, will try it out on mac and windows, see either it possible to make it work!!

For Windows 10 the extensions are located in C:\Users\<user>\vscode\extensions, and the settings are located in C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Code\User. Not sure about mac.

Also, I sync the settings in my dotfiles like this, I haven't looked at syncing extensions yet, I'm hoping it will be possible eventually to do it with a series of calls to vsce like you can with apm install for Atom (like this).

[thyeun]

yup, and one more things, the dropbox folder should in the correct path too, i mean in windows environments (i'm testing it on dropbox). =.=

This doesn't seem to be an inherent issue with Code. But I'm glad people are finding solutions.

On Windows start cmd.exe as Administrator and run:

• mklink /D C:\Users\YOURNAME\AppData\Roaming\Code\User C:\Dropbox\CloudSettings\VSCode\User
• mklink /D C:\Users\YOURNAME\.vscode\extensions C:\Dropbox\CloudSettings\VSCode\extensions
