hi, this is not an issue, but do you have any plan to find a way for syncing vscode in user devices, one user have multiple devices... i have a macbook pro, a pc with windows os, a vps with windows server... i see theme, i like it and then i install it in my mac... but other devices does not know anything about this installation... if there was a way to syncing all vscode extensions, it was very helpful...

There is an extension available that syncs almost all settings, keybindings, snippets, etc. -
Settings Sync. You can use it to sync your settings across different devices.

Your vscode extensions are located in the $HOME/.vscode/extensions/ folder and you sync them with many different techniques and cloud services. But I'm curious - how often do you really change your installed extensions that you need to synchronize them? Can't you just install (or uninstall) those few new/removed ones manually?

@jsynowiec Something like a work dev environment and a home dev environment, syncing between the two would be handy.

@james-gould I understand but still don't see a real (and justified) case. Even for convenience. Syncing settings is ok, I do change them from time to time (but mostly on workspace level). But extensions. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ Don't see this as a killer feature for code if we can achieve same results using e.g. Dropbox and some scripts.

@jsynowiec why use dropbox when you could use a floppy disk and a bit of rucksack space? ¯\(ツ)/¯

Everyone has different needs, no matter how niche they are. Not suggesting for it to be a core feature, but I can definitely see a use for it.

[jsynowiec]

Sure! I'm just saying that there are many more important feature requests and was asking for the reason and use cases.
