While it has been a great extension in the past (thanks @shanalikhan), it is no longer been supported.

VSCode is now providing its own built-in Settings Sync tool, but it uses a dedicated service to store settings and coordinate updates, not exposing the backend for customization, and also only supporting Microsoft and Github Gist accounts.

I'd like to share a good alternative named "Sync Settings" that also makes 3 great improvements compared to the one on this repository:

  • Allows to upload to a standard git remote repository (which is an old request)
  • Allows to sync files from the extensions folder, to sync extensions configurations.
  • Allows to create profiles also managed by the repository (seems not related to the built-in feature of profiles)
