Sync Everything: Seamless VS Code/Cursor Settings Sync with GitHub Gists

Introduction

Sync Everything is an essential VS Code and Cursor extension that revolutionizes how developers manage their editor configurations across different devices. It provides a seamless way to synchronize your VS Code/Cursor settings, installed extensions, and custom keybindings using GitHub Gists for secure and private storage. With features like profile management, one-click sync, and smart conflict resolution, Sync Everything ensures your development environment is always consistent and ready to go.

Installation

Getting started with Sync Everything is straightforward:

• Open VS Code or Cursor.
• Navigate to the Extensions view (accessible via Ctrl+Shift+X or Cmd+Shift+X).
• Search for "Sync Everything" in the marketplace.
• Click the "Install" button to add the extension to your editor.

Examples

After installation, the initial setup is intuitive:

• You will be prompted to sign in to GitHub, which the extension handles automatically.
