VS Code : Sign In Request

[nativekar]

Hi,

Can you allow for there to be an option to sign in to VS Code? This helps with accessing the app across multiple devices and quite simply - to not have to download all extensions, set/reset preferences every time VS Code is accessed from a different device?

Perhaps linking VS Code to the MS Account that was used to sign into the device might be a start?

Edit: I've found out that there is a way to sync my settings using an extension, but I'd greatly prefer just signing into VS Code to using an extension that uploads my settings to GitHub.

Have a look at this extensions. I think it does exactly what you're searching for: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Shan.code-settings-sync
Would be nice to have something like this built-in though.

@donnisnoni95 - thank you for the suggestion, mate, but I was looking for something built into VS rather than having to rely on an extension.
