The settings sync extension makes it so easy to share all of your customizations across different instances of VS Code!

This is an amazing tool. I used it today when I switched from windows to ubuntu. I absolutely love it.

Please help, I'm trying to sync my settings from VSCode to VSCodium. I installed this extension and followed your instructions. Creating the gist from VSCode worked fine but when I attempt to download from Codium I get the following error: Sync: Error Logged In Console (Help menu > Toggle Developer Tools).

thank you for step by step instructions!

Hi James, nice video. I have a question. I would like to change between two profiles (a C# profile for work, and an Angular profile for home project), can I do it like switching branches in Git, or I should always delete the files what you have shown?

Hi James thanks for this great tutorial!!
This application will be able to read and write your public and secret gists. Is that safe to continue?

Thank you for the video. Very useful. 2 quick questions. For Windows users, will sync'ing settings work if you are using VSCode in WSL2 mode? Not sure of how the internals work there and I want to sync across 3 desktops I use (home/work/laptop). I do automations and CI/CD in linux so I use VSCode in WSL2 mode.

Second, if you make the gist private, will it still work? Not a big fan of putting my stuff out on the internet and a search on github gist for VScode settings showed more than I wanted.

Appreciate the insight. Thank you!
