VSCodium Settings

My settings for the VSCodium application.

Usage

These settings contain the settings file and the a list of extensions. These settings are synchronized using this Git repository. The following instructions detail how to use and sync this repository.

Install

Install these settings with the following instructions.

1. Clone this repository.

   ➜ git -C ~/Projects clone [email protected]:jwillikers/vscodium-settings.git

2. Copy the settings.json file to the appropriate location.

   ℹ️	Close VSCodium before copying the settings file.

   Flatpak

   ➜ cp ~/Projects/vscodium-settings/settings.json \
     ~/.var/app/com.vscodium.codium/config/VSCodium/User/

   System Package

   ➜ cp ~/Projects/vscodium-settings/settings.json \
     ~/.config/VSCodium/User/

3. Install each extension listed in the extensions.txt file.

   Flatpak

   ➜ xargs -ra ~/Projects/vscodium-settings/extensions.txt -I{} flatpak run com.vscodium.codium --install-extension {}

   System Package

   ➜ xargs -ra ~/Projects/vscodium-settings/extensions.txt -I{} codium --install-extension {}

   Flatpak

   There is some additional Flatpak-specific setup.

   1. Set a standard, shared tmp directory for VSCodium to function as expected.

      ➜ flatpak override --user --env=TMPDIR=/var/tmp com.vscodium.codium

   2. Ensure the functions configuration directory for the fish shell exists.

      ➜ mkdir -p ~/.config/fish/functions/

   3. Install an alias for the fish shell which also appropriately handles running via Flatpak and from inside a toolbox.

      ➜ cp ~/Projects/vscodium-settings/codium.fish ~/.config/fish/functions/

      Thank you Carmen Bianca Bakker for the blog post Using Fedora Silverblue for development, the source of the original Bash script for accomplishing this.
