:scissors: Mass convert ultisnips snippets to json for vscode

About

I don't always use VSCode. But when I do, I use Ultisnips.

This script allows you to write all of your snippets in vims Ultisnips format, and convert the whole batch to json format for use in vscode.

Installation

pip install ultisnips-vscode

Usage

• Create a config file at ~/.vscode/ultisnips-vscode.json
• Add the paths to your snippets folders.
• On a mac this file might contain:

{
    "ultisnips-snippets":  "~/.vim/UltiSnips/",
    "vscode-snippets": "~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/snippets/"
}

• On linux this file might contain:

{
    "ultisnips-snippets":  "~/.config/nvim/UltiSnips",
    "vscode-snippets": "~/.config/Code/User/snippets/"
}

• Source your shell, or log out and log back in so the script is in your $PATH
• Run the command ultisnips2vscode to synchronize your snippets. This will output something like:

sh.snippets                    -->        shellscript.json
python.snippets                -->        python.json
all.snippets                   -->        global.code-snippets
texmath.snippets               -->        doconce.json
doconce.snippets               -->        doconce.json
gitcommit.snippets             -->        git-commit.json

json.snippets                  -->        json.json
html.snippets                  -->        html.json
c.snippets                     -->        c.json
texmath.snippets               -->        latex.json
