Migrating or Syncing Brackets Configuration

Jump to bottom
Peter Flynn edited this page Feb 19, 2015 · 1 revision

Brackets does not yet have built-in support for copying or syncing preferences, installed extensions, etc. between two different copies of Brackets.

Please upvote these items on our feature backlog: sync preferences, sync installed extensions.

In the meantime, here's how to manually copy or sync your configuration:

One-Time Migration

  • Select Help > Show Extensions Folder
  • Extensions: Copy the user folder to the equivalent location on the new computer
  • Go up one level to the parent folder
  • Preferences: Copy the brackets.json file to the equivalent location on the new computer

Continuous Sync

Replace the folder above with a symlink to a network-shared folder -- for example, a folder on a network drive, or a folder that uses a cloud sync service like Dropbox. However, unexpected behavior could occur if Brackets is running while the folder is updated from the network.
