Visual Studio Code – How to export settings in VSCode

As posted here How can I export settings?, everyone insists on using Settings Sync, which would be fine if I wasn’t forced to use GitHub by the plugin (which is explicitly denied on my computer). Is there any way to either do this manually, or to redirect the plugin to use an alternative git repo for this purpose?

    Yes, certainly you can. You basically need to

    1. copy keybindings.json, settings.json files and snippets folder from /home/<user>/.config/Code/User

    2. and copy extensions folders from /home/<user>/.vscode/
      to your new machine at the same locations.

    Please note – the above locations are for Ubuntu. Check what are these for your operating systems.
