Hi, when I'm had reinstalled vscode, I recognized that the 'settings-sync' was deprecated, but I've been using this extension for a long time, I depend on it to sync my settings and extension via GitHub token and gist, and now all my vscode settings were gone, I tried to turn on sync on the latest version vscode. Still, nothing happened. Do you know if there is any alternative to fix it? Thanks.

@Censwin
Settings synching is now an officially supported feature of VS Code. You can enable it via File β†’ Preferences β†’ Turn on Settings Sync

*on Mac the File tab is replaced by Code

Thanks for your comment, but I'm pretty sure that I had turned on the sync on VS Code, but it doesn't sync my settings that I saved by 'settings-sync' before.

For open source builds, there is this:

Deprecated?! This extension is essential! Specifically, native settings syncing lacks the granularity that this extension provides specifically with sync-pragmas

(I use vscode cross-platform, and this allows me to sync different things based on OS...eg by providing this declaration // @sync os=windows or // @sync os=mac)

I made a "manual workflow" that is working so far. This workflow does not provide many features, but it allows me to use a regular repository (not a gist), which I think is better, and also to sync extensions files. If you want use it, I put the steps in this instruction. Hope it helps someone.

You can still install the extension from VSCode command palette if you want. Press Ctrl/Cmd + P type ext install Shan.code-settings-sync then enter.

I posted a link to an alternative here #1429.
