Local Settings

2020-04-06: I'm archiving this repo since I'm no longer interested in the feature, as its main purpose, installation-specific settings that play nicely with the Settings Sync extension, is now achievable using sync pragmas. As I still think the issue it raised below is relevant, I'll let everything as is.

THIS EXTENSION WILL NOT WORK until this issue or a similar one is solved.

Local Settings is a VS Code extension to let you store settings to a machine in a different file than the usual settings.json. This is useful when you sync automatically your settings (e.g. with the Settings Sync extension) but have settings specific to a machine that you do want to override locally (e.g. window.zoomLevel).

Quick start:

  1. Place your settings in a file named localSettings.json, next to settings.json in your user folder.
  2. Open the command palette and start the "Local Settings: Load" command.

Features

  • Store local settings in a specific file and load them during start-up or with the loadLocalSettings command.

Extension Settings

This extension contributes the following settings:

  • localSettings.fileName: change the name of the file to load, defaults to localSettings.json.

TODO

  • Watcher for the local settings file
  • Ability to pick which level of configuration to shadow
  • Ability to have several settings files
