A powerful VS Code extension that enables seamless synchronization of settings, keybindings, and extensions across VS Code and its forks (like Cursor) using local storage.
Features
Cross-IDE Sync: Synchronize settings, keybindings, and extensions between VS Code and its forks
Local Storage: Uses ~/.crosside-sync directory for shared storage with full user control
Auto & Manual Sync: Automatic sync on startup with manual commands for settings, keybindings, and extensions
Smart Conflict Resolution: Compares modification times to preserve your latest changes
Extension Management: Sync extensions with filtering options to exclude specific ones

Why ?
Many developers use multiple VS Code-based editors simultaneously - VS Code for general development, Cursor for AI-assisted coding, and other forks for specific workflows. Managing consistent settings, keybindings, and extensions across these different environments can be time-consuming and error-prone.
Crosside Sync solves this problem by providing a unified synchronization system that works across all VS Code-based editors. Whether you're switching between VS Code and Cursor, or using multiple machines with different VS Code forks, your development environment stays consistent.
