My VS Code setup

Published: | Updated:

I got a new work laptop recently and part of the setup process was installing and configuring VS Code to match my preferences. This usually takes a bit of time because I cannot always remember all the settings and extensions that I tweak or install. I’m aware that VS Code supports syncing of settings, extensions, etc. across devices but it’s not always possible to login with my GitHub/Microsoft account. So here are the settings and extensions that I usually change/add to a brand new VS Code installation.
