2 commands you should know if you use VSCode

I think many of you are using vscode. Of course, I'm also using it everyday to write code and read code.

Recently I needed to reformat a Mac that I use for work.

As many of you know, setting up a Mac is troublesome.

But we can automate that process easily with ansible.

I was wondering that I could include vscode extensions in that automation process?

The answer was Yes 🎉🎉🎉

We can use code command to install extensions.

To be honest, I didn't know about that until quite recently lol.

In this post, I will introduce 2 commands to you!

1 code --install-extension

This command can install an extension.

$ code --install-extension vscode-icons-team.vscode-icons
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

2 code --list-extensions

This command shows you the list of extensions you installed.
If you use this command with |

$ code --list-extensions | xargs -L 1 echo code --install-extension
code --install-extension aaron-bond.better-comments
code --install-extension astro-build.astro-vscode
code --install-extension bradlc.vscode-tailwindcss
