We’ll assume for this walkthrough you have VS Code already installed. Once it’s set up, you can then configure the extension on any other instance of VS Code and immediately download your configuration to sync up your editor. Once approved, VS Code obtains an access token and reaches out to both store and download your settings file to a private Github Gist. The extension uses Github’s OAuth to log in to your Github account. We’re going to use a VS Code extension called Settings Sync that makes use of Github’s Gist feature to store a private JSON configuration file in the cloud.
