Extension Inventory

Keep an inventory of every extension you have installed in VS Code: export it to an Excel workbook, a CSV file or a plain ID list, with the details the built-in tools leave out.

Usage

  1. Open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P / Cmd+Shift+P).
  2. Run Extension Inventory: Export Installed Extensions…
  3. Pick a format and where to save it.

What gets exported

Column Source
Name, Extension ID, Version, Publisher, Description The extension's package.json
Categories package.json, falling back to the Marketplace
Workspace Trust Support capabilities.untrustedWorkspaces (true, false, limited or not declared)
Enabled Whether the extension is running in the current window
Pre-release, Installed On VS Code's install record
Verified Publisher Marketplace (the blue check mark)
Rating, Rating Count, Installs, Latest Version Marketplace
Marketplace URL Built from the extension ID

Extensions installed from a .vsix file or another registry have blank Marketplace columns and On Marketplace = No.

The ID list (.txt) format has one publisher.name per line, which is what the upcoming import command will read.

Settings

  • extensionInventory.fetchMarketplaceData (default true): set to false to skip the Marketplace lookup and export local data only, for example when offline.

Development

pnpm install
pnpm run bundle          # build dist/extension.js (what VS Code loads)
pnpm run test:export     # run the exporter outside VS Code against ~/.vscode/extensions
pnpm run package         # build extension-inventory-<version>.vsix

Press F5 in VS Code with this folder open to launch an Extension Development Host.
