How to migrate the vscode configuration to a new computer
Editor to share with you how to migrate the configuration of vscode to the new computer. I hope you will learn a lot after reading this article. Let's discuss it together.
How to migrate the configuration of vscode to a new computer:
1. Install and expand Settings Sync
Search for Settings Sync in the VSCode extension and install it. After the installation is complete, restart VSCode
2. Set Github Person Access Token
This step requires you to have a github account, because we need to upload the configuration to github gist to save.
Once you have a github account, go directly to this page: https://github.com/settings/tokens, and click generate new token.
Write a description of token and check the gist option, and click next.
At this time you will generate an access token, remember to find a place to save your access token (for example, I saved it in the cloud disk or something), and then use the synchronization configuration.
3. Upload your configuration to Github Gist
Open VSCode, ctrl (mac is command) + shift + p, type sync, and click Sync: Upload / Update Settings
Enter the access token saved in step 2
After a successful upload, a series of messages will appear in the console output. Remember two key messages. Github Token is the equivalent of password, and Github Gist is the id you saved in Github Gist. You will need to use these two messages to download the configuration later.
GitHub Token: 08eed0310a0ac7*17cbc88d257aa8GitHub Gist: 66671319ae7*f621fb2ec737fe # can access this information through https://gist.github.com//
