Dotfiles - how to create a dotfile for Visual Studio Code that builds on the current configuration
I recently came across the idea of Dotfiles and it is very appealing. But most tutorials / articles explain Dotfiles and then present their own dotfiles.
I would like to capture the settings of my various installed programs with all the modifications that I have made over the years and that I do not remember.
So, to begin with Visual Studio Code (VS Code).
/Users/smalani/Library/Application Support/Code/Userthis directory appears have a number of files that capture the configuration. I am not sure exactly which ones I should copy and move to a dotfile setting and how I should capture these in an actionable dotfile- I also searched and found that this command
code --list-extensions | xargs -L 1 echo code --install-extensioncreates an actionable output to be included in a dot file
Would be great, if you could help me
- completely capture the configuration of current VS Code setup and
- create a dotfile that I can run on another Mac to replicate VS Code configuration.
Thanks.

Can you limit your question to fish or Vscode only? Those are two different softwares. Also explain what you've done/attempt to slove your query, it'll enrich your question.
