⚡ DevAnywhere - Portable VS Code Profile Porter

Dev Anywhere: Your development environment, wherever you go.

DevAnywhere is a lightweight, intuitive VS Code extension designed to manage and download workspace profile files (.code-profile) directly within your project. No more manual sync headaches or setting up your development environment from scratch on every new machine. Simply bundle your environment settings with your code, and develop anywhere.

🌟 Why DevAnywhere?

Setting up a local environment on a new machine, container, or remote server is usually a tedious process of copying settings files, installing extensions one by one, and tweaking keybindings.

DevAnywhere solves this by:

• Workspace-Bound Environments: Save and download configuration profiles (portable_profile/) inside the current workspace.
• Easy Remote Profiles: Download custom settings and profile templates directly from secure remote URLs.
• One-Click Imports: Pre-package a work profile for your team so that a new developer can set up their workspace in seconds.
• Zero Footprint: Includes built-in mechanisms to safely and permanently delete profiles when they are no longer needed, cleaning up directories automatically.

👶 How It Was Born

DevAnywhere was born out of a simple, recurring frustration: developer velocity friction.

Every time we hopped between our work laptops, home desktops, remote dev containers, and cloud VMs, we found ourselves spending the first 30 minutes tweaking VS Code to feel like "home." We realized that while VS Code has settings sync, we needed something workspace-specific, shareable with team members, and fully offline-compatible.

We built DevAnywhere to treat development profiles as first-class citizens of the workspace repository. Now, you can commit your profile templates, download remote presets, and import them natively with a single command.

🚀 Getting Started

1. Install the Extension Open the command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P / Cmd+Shift+P), type Open DevAnywhere Dashboard, and press enter.

2. Download or Import

   • Download Bundled Profile: Click to instantly download/copy the pre-packaged profile template into your workspace's portable_profile/ folder.
   • Download Remote Profile: Paste a link to any .code-profile file to download it directly.

3. Load the Profile Follow the step-by-step native import instructions displayed on the dashboard to apply the profile in VS Code.
