We’ll assume for this walkthrough you have VS Code already installed. Once it’s set up, you can then configure the extension on any other instance of VS Code and immediately download your configuration to sync up your editor. Once approved, VS Code obtains an access token and reaches out to both store and download your settings file to a private Github Gist. The extension uses Github’s OAuth to log in to your Github account. We’re going to use a VS Code extension called Settings Sync that makes use of Github’s Gist feature to store a private JSON configuration file in the cloud.

It’s been the “cool kid on the block” for a little while now and has been increasingly growing in popularity at least in the JavaScript community. Visual Studio Code, or VS Code, is an all-inclusive code editor that takes all of the features you want out of working with code and puts them in one editor to make you ultra productive. Step 4: Syncing your configuration to another environment.How can we make sure our VS Code configuration is the same wherever we use it? All developers like their text editor a certain way, but it can be tough to make sure all of your environments have the same configuration.
