If you use VS Code at 42, this will probably interest you! 🔥
I had a bit of fun creating custom snippets to improve my workflow at 42 🤓 and wanted to share them with the 42 community! 🤗

Setting up the snippets

You'll simply need to copy the snippet files in your computer. Yes, that's about it. 👌

Depending on your OS, your user snippets are located here:

• Windows: %APPDATA%\Code\User\snippets
• Mac: $HOME/Library/Application Support/Code/User/snippets
• Linux: $HOME/.config/Code/User/snippets

WARNING ⚠️: if you already have custom snippets for .c files or for .h files, executing the commands below will overwrite them. So you'll have to copy them manually.

To quickly copy these sweet snippets, execute the upload command for your OS:

• Mac: sh upload_mac.sh
• Linux: sh upload_linux.sh
