## What's the deal with extensions?
|
||||
## How can I reuse my VS Code configuration?
|
||||
|
||||
Unfortunately, the Microsoft VS Code Marketplace license prohibits use with any non Microsoft
|
||||
product.
|
||||
The very popular [Settings Sync](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Shan.code-settings-sync) extension works.
|
||||
|
||||
See https://cdn.vsassets.io/v/M146_20190123.39/_content/Microsoft-Visual-Studio-Marketplace-Terms-of-Use.pdf
|
||||
You can also pass `--data-dir ~/.vscode` to reuse your existing VS Code extensions and configuration.
|
||||
|
||||
Or copy `~/.vscode` into `~/.local/share/code-server`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Differences compared to VS Code?
|
||||
|
||||
`code-server` takes the open source core of VS Code and allows you to run it in the browser.
|
||||
However, it is not entirely equivalent to Microsoft's VS Code.
|
||||
|
||||
While the core of VS Code is open source, the marketplace and many published Microsoft extensions are not.
|
||||
|
||||
Not only are they closed source, Microsoft prohibits the use of any non-Microsoft VS Code from accessing their marketplace.
|
||||
|
||||
See the [TOS](https://cdn.vsassets.io/v/M146_20190123.39/_content/Microsoft-Visual-Studio-Marketplace-Terms-of-Use.pdf).

||||

Issue [#1299](https://github.com/cdr/code-server/issues/1299) is a big one in making the experience here
