🎯 Quick Start
GitHub Gist Setup
- Click "Quick Connect with GitHub" in the CECS sidebar
- Authorize the extension
- Done! Your settings are now backed up to a private Gist
Local File Setup

- Choose a backup location (or use default:
~/.cecs/config.json)
- Done! Your settings are saved locally
🔄 Usage
Auto-Sync (Recommended)
Enable automatic background sync when settings change:
"cecs.autoSync": true
Manual Sync
- Push: Backup your current settings to all connected providers
- Pull: Restore settings from your backup (overwrites current settings!)
- Full Sync: Intelligent 2-way synchronization
🎨 Multi-Profile Support
All your VS Code profiles are automatically detected and synced:
- ⭐ Default profile
- 📁 All custom profiles (Work, Personal, etc.)
How it works:
- Push from any profile → All profiles backed up
- Pull to new machine → All profiles restored
- No manual configuration needed!
🔌 Automatic Extension Installation
Missing extensions? No problem!
When you pull settings, CECS automatically:
- Detects missing extensions
- Shows installation progress
- Installs all extensions with one click
- Prompts to reload
Disable if you prefer manual installation:
