Visual Studio Code Personal Preference Settings

Just my own settings.json preferences for VS Code.

How can I sync my settings via GitHub Gist?

Visual Studio Code Settings Sync allows you to sync your settings via GitHub Gist.

Settings File Locations

Depending on your platform, the user settings file is located here:

• Windows: %APPDATA%\Code\User\settings.json
• MacOS Y: ~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/settings.json
• Linux: ~/.config/Code/User/settings.json

The workspace setting file is located under the .vscode folder in your project.

If you're not concerned about syncing, you can just copy the files keybindings.json and settings.json to the corresponding folder on your new machine.

Extensions File Locations

• Windows: C:\Users\username\.vscode\extensions
• Linux: ~/.vscode/extensions
