Universal Snippet Sync is a productivity tool that allows you to maintain "single source" code blocks across your entire workspace. Whether it's a shared navigation bar in HTML, common variables in CSS, or a header comment in JavaScript, this extension ensures your changes are mirrored everywhere instantly.
Features
Syntax Agnostic: Works with any comment or tag style—// JS, /* CSS */, ``, or even custom markers like [start]. If it matches, it syncs.
Surgical Replacement: Only replaces the code between your defined start and end comments.
Auto Type-Detection: Right-click any file, and the extension finds all other files of that same type to update.
Workspace-Wide: Scans your entire project folder while respecting your custom exclusion rules.
Safety: Skips files that have a starting comment but are missing a closing comment to prevent accidental code deletion.
How To Use
Tag your code: Wrap the code you want to sync in start and end comments.
Note: The tags are case-sensitive and must match exactly (including spacing).
<!-- my-snippet-start -->
... your code here ...
<!-- my-snippet-end -->
Right-Click: In the File Explorer, right-click the file that contains your "master" version of that code.
Sync: Select "Sync Snippet Across Files" from the context menu.
Extension Settings
snippetQuickChange.snippetFile: The default relative path to your primary snippet file.
snippetQuickChange.exludeFolders: An array of folder names or files to skip.
Default:[".git"]
Known Issues
Case Sensitivity: Ensure your start and end lines match exactly. // Start will not match // start.
Regex Sensitivity: Ensure spacing matches perfectly between the master file and target files.
