code-profiles 💻

Simply, what is it?

Profiles for VS Code Extensions.

I use this to load only the extensions I need in VS Code depending on projects.

How does it work?

You need 2 things:

• a code-profiles.yml where your executable is. This is where you define your profiles.
• a .code-profile with a valid profile name. This will start VSCode using --extensions-dir with the right extensions.

You have multiple commands:

• open: which opens VSCode with a specified profile.
  From the .code-profile file in the current working directory or args (code-profiles open [profile_name])
• install: which installs required extensions for a specified profile.
  From the .code-profile file in the CWD or args (code-profiles install [profile_name])
