About VSC-Essentials

VSC Essentials - Extension Pack for Visual Studio Code

Badge for version for Visual Studio Code extension Installs Downloads Rating

This extension pack for Visual Studio Code adds extensions that are very useful for any development (Language agnostic). I reserve the right to update the extensions pack contents up to my own discretion. This extension is for my personal use, I think it's great if it works for other people too.

Reasons

The [VSC Essentials extension pack] was made to automate and standardize the installation phase of the essential extensions for Visual Studio Code every time a new member joins the team, or one of them restores a laptop, or exchanges it for a new one.

See the CHANGELOG for the latest changes

settings.json

It is strongly recommended that these settings be used in your workspace. You must copy and paste them, and if you need to adjust something you will already know where to do it.
