How to share extensions and settings with VS Code stable and insider build?

Question

I have installed both the versions of VS Code stable and insiders build on my machine.

But the problem is that insiders are not showing all the settings and extensions I am using in the stable version.

So, how to share all the stuff with the insiders build.

Answer 1

Try the Settings Sync extension, it should take care of both settings and extensions.

Alternatively, you may prefer to replace .vscode-insiders/extensions with a symbolic link to .vscode/extensions (mklink command on Windows). This is preferable especially if you are doing extension development and have extensions installed from source in your extensions directory (rather than from the marketplace).
