Visual Studio Code settings synchronization to GitHub plug-in introduction and usage (Settings Sync)

Plugin Settings Sync

The authorities are in English, but it's fairly simple, I'll simplify the steps.

1. Install the plugin and reboot the Vscode it's needless to say. Reload after installing Vscode Settings sync

2. Restart and press the shortcut key Alt+shift+u (This assumes your first time)

It will pop up a window corresponding to the github above to create a personal gist page, if not logged in please login GitHub first. GitHub create gist to store settings

A key is generated after saving, please keep in mind the token ID, which will be used later

3. Cut back to Vscode, he will have an input area, is to store just generated key input just generated key

And then theoretically, he starts to upload a scan of your local configuration. This upload is done.

Next we go to another computer to download the configuration. The same install the Settings Sync plugin first and reload.

Then press the shortcut key alt+shift+d, you should be able to pop an input box, please enter the previous saved key (GIST ID), return will automatically download the configuration before the upload.

Then the download is complete, your computer modified the relevant configuration to upload again. Is it more convenient?

Other instructions, if the input gist ID wrong, read the situation, probably need to reset settings, press F1, enter sync, here are reset options. Try it. Reset Sync gist configuration information, etc.

There are other features such as automatic upload download and so on, not very often, we can see the official document, the basic use of this is the case, I wrote if there is a problem or where not understand can leave a message-.

Here's an official note.
