Given:
I have (want to have) multiple projects in Visual Studio Code that might have multiple targets and multiple settings.json files.
Example:
I have a workspace/project where I am writing remotely executed Python code for my Raspberry Pi based robot and it has the following settings.json file.

}
I have created, (am creating), another project in another workspace that contains a C++ file that creates a Windows native .exe "checklist" program. It has the following settings.json file.
{
"git.confirmSync": false,
"git.autofetch": true
}
The settings.json file appears to be located within the "C:\Users\Flight Simulator\AppData\Roaming\Code\user\sync\settings [\preview?] directory.
When VS Code goes to "sync settings" it complains that there are "conflicts" that I must resolve and/or merge.
Obviously the settings for a Python project on a Raspberry Pi will be vastly different from the settings for a C++ native Windows app.
How do I allow each individual project to have settings that are unique to that project?
If by project you mean an opened folder or repository, then just put different .vscode/settings.json inside of each project and that should be it
