I want to bootstrap an environment. So I've figured where and how to create the necessary configuration files with the gist and token and I want afterwards to invoke the download of the settings which you would normally do from the command pallete.
I have been looking for quite some time for a solid way to do exactly this. I do have it pretty close, though. It doesn't run headless, but it is fully automated. I just finished it up about an hour ago, and was going to make a small writeup on here about it.
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.
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.

Something like this

VSCode support this natively so I would say that the entire post and comments as an extention are obsolete

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.

Oh. Didn't get that advanced.
