Your own templates
The templates you customize live in a personal folder, separate from the ones the extension
ships. That folder holds only what you change: for every language you have not touched, the
built-in template is used, so improvements to the built-in ones reach you when the extension
updates.
Edit a template
Run File Template: Edit or Add a Template from the Command Palette and pick a language. A copy
of the built-in template opens for editing; change it and your copy is the one that gets
inserted from then on. Leave it exactly as it is and it is dropped again, so you keep getting
improvements to the built-in one. Delete the file at any time to go back to the built-in
template.
Add a language
The same command lets you pick Other language... and type any VS Code language
identifier — cpp, go,
shellscript, and so on. Open a file of that language and run File Template: Insert Template.
Open the folderFile Template: Open Templates Folder reveals it in your file manager. You can add or remove
<languageId>.tmpl files there directly. The folder lives outside the extension's install
directory, so nothing in it is lost when the extension updates.
Templates use TextMate snippet syntax, plus
${date}, which is replaced with the current date and time.
Upgrading from 3.0.x? Those versions filled your folder with a copy of every built-in
template, which meant later improvements to them never reached you. On the first run of this
version, copies you never edited are removed (the identical built-in template is used
instead); every template you customized is kept.
Upgrading from 2.0.x? Those versions had you edit templates inside
~/.vscode/extensions/ralfzhang.filetemplate-<version>/. The first run after upgrading copies
your customized templates out of there automatically, on a best-effort basis — VS Code may
already have deleted the old version's folder. If it does not find them and that folder still
exists, copy your .tmpl files into the folder opened by File Template: Open Templates Folder.
