React Starter Kit – VS Code Extension Pack

Every time I reset VS Code or wipe my Mac, I lose half my brain to re-installing extensions.
This pack is my antidote — the exact tools I use for React dev, bundled together so I (and maybe you) never have to start from zero again.

🚀 Why This Exists

This pack saves me from repeating the same setup process every time I touch a fresh machine or install VS Code.
If you're a React dev who likes clean tools, fast setup, and not wasting time—this pack is for you.


📦 Installation

  1. Open VS Code
  2. Go to the Extensions panel (⇧⌘X or Ctrl+Shift+X)
  3. Search for React Starter Kit – Extension Pack
  4. Click Install
  5. You're done—start coding

🛠 Want to Customize It?

This is my setup—feel free to fork it and tweak it to your own.
If there's a React-specific extension you think belongs here, open a PR or drop a suggestion.


❤️ Made by a Dev, for Devs

No fluff. No trend-chasing. Just a faster way to get to the part where you build cool things.
