There’s a built-in settings sync, but I’ve frequently found it to be glitchy
-
In one particular instance, I had to fully wipe and reinstall a corrupted VS code installation on my work laptop multiple times until I realized the built in settings sync was the problem and deactivating it solved it
-
I already sync a number of macOS and app settings using my dotfiles
-
No big deal to add vs code to the mix
-
Settings
-
File location in dotfiles can be anywhere
-
Symlink to app installation location
- Often that’s .config but not this time
-
Can do the same with keyboard shortcuts and snippets
-
Update setup script to automatically create those symlinks on a new Mac
-
Workflow includes committing and pushing changes to those files via my dotfiles repo (which I generally have open since I tweak my configurations frequently)
