Inherit Profile

Enables profile inheritance in VisualStudio Code!

View in Marketplace

⚙️ Configuration

Make sure you have this extension installed on the profile you would like to inherit settings onto.

Important: After updating the inheritance configuration for your profile, you need to run the Apply Profile Inheritance (Current Profile) command. This will fetch the inherited settings from your chosen profiles. By default this will automatically execute every time you change profile and every time the extension starts.

📝 Examples

Inheriting from the Default Profile

{
    "inheritProfile.parents": ["Default"]
}

Inheriting from Multiple Profiles

{
    "inheritProfile.parents": ["Default", "My Other Profile"]
}

Full Configuration

{
    "inheritProfile": {
        "parents": ["Default"],
        "runOnStartup": true,
        "runOnProfileChange": true,
        "showMessages": false
    }
}

🎯 Future Plans

[ ] Tidy up profiles.ts.
[ ] Implement extension inheritance. This should be disabled by default, but should be possible to enable through configuration.
