Hi @sobolevn, installing extensions as part of dotfiles poses some challenges, since dotfiles install runs in parallel with user connection, and there’s no guarantee you are connected by the time it runs, or even which VS Code version you are connecting from (insiders, stable, etc). Without knowing which VS Code version you are connecting from, you cannot know which version to install the extension into. There are two alternative recommended methods for installing extensions automatically:
I would use (1) for extensions that are mostly personal preference like themes and other UI-related extensions, and (2) for things like language extensions, SDKs, debuggers, etc which are needed to build and run the project, and which everyone in that repo is going to need. Hope that helps! |

For (1), you shouldn’t need to do anything to enable settings sync. It’s on automatically in Codespaces. Let us know if you are seeing something different. For (2), I don’t think that’s supported currently. There’s not a great way to have Codespaces-specific config that is applied to all codespaces and not roamed back to desktop. cc @sandy081 who works on settings sync for VS Code. |
