How many ways are there to install a couple of public essential VSCode solutions for new members of a development team?
Note: ideally, the installation will be part of the onboarding process, so using workspaces is not very feasible since it is only restricted to one project.
Publish/Use an extension pack on the market place
Make an extension pack + publish it on the marketplace

| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| user can just search on the market place and install | fully public |
| requires the team to maintain a VSCode market place account |
Run a command
VSCode has a --install-extension option on the CLI where you can install extensions with their marketplace id.
example: code --install-extension dbaeumer.vscode-eslint --install-extension dbaeumer.vscode-eslint
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| 0 maintenance of any accounts or code | VSCode needs to exist on the system PATH (i.e. zip versions need extra work) |
Let's discuss any other options that exist!
