How can I export settings?


How is it possible to export all Visual Studio Code settings and plugins and import them to another machine?


Solution

  • There is an extension for Visual Studio Code, called Settings Sync.

    It synchronises your settings by gist (Gist by GitHub). It works the same as the Atom.io extension called settings-sync.

    UPDATE:

    This feature is now built into VS Code, it is worth switching to the official feature. (https://stackoverflow.com/a/64035356/2029818)

    You can now sync all your settings across devices with VSCode's built-in Settings Sync. It's found under Code > Preferences > Turn on Settings Sync...
