Super power your VS Code with one command

Power-My-VScode 🚀

Make VS Code great again!

This package allows you to synchronize your VS Code extensions across your computers (Home's laptop, at work, fresh installations, ...).
If you change your computer or run a fresh installation, one command line will give back powers to your VSCode.

Usage :

Tool's command line offers multiple workflow possibilities :

• npx power-my-vscode
  The package will install the default extensions defined here
• npx power-my-vscode -a
  This will lookup the current git username on your computer, try to lookup for the fork under its github profile then it will install extensions listed on : https://raw.githubusercontent.com/username/power-my-vscode/master/.vs-extensions.json
• npx power-my-vscode -g <github_username>
  This is helpful if you want target someone's collection. It will do the same as the previous one but on https://raw.githubusercontent.com/github_username/power-my-vscode/master/.vs-extensions.json
• npx power-my-vscode -f <pah/to/json.file>
  Extensions list will be retrieved from that file
• npx power-my-vscode -u <url_to_json_file>
  Will perfom installation from the list retrieved from that url (you might have some file with the list in you DotFiles repo for example)
• Check out help command for more info : npx power-my-vscode -h

Tip : Export your current extensions

Your current extensions can be retrieved from VSCode CLI :

code --list-extensions 

Save the result of the command on your fork's file .vs-extensions.json or another file on your computer or over the internet depending on the workflow that suits you.
