Do you happen to have an example or a link to info on it? I have looked everywhere and have not seen a way to externally/headlessly call an extensions methods from outside of the VSCode editor.

Oh that. Yes I would like that as well very much.

I got probably confused and thought you were also interested for the extension and I said that vscode does this natively.

Ah yes, I see what you meant. Though, I can't say I fully agree. While it is nice that the editor does have some sync functionality built-in, it is not as configurable and customizable as this.

I tried using the built-in version but quickly found myself coming back to this one due to the nice platform-specific sync options, inclusions, exclusions, and things of that nature, as my desktop is Linux but I have Windows VM's and my work machines are Windows, etc. I just ended up frustrated more than anything else with the built in sync.

Oh. Didn't get that advanced.
