ExEx

An extension for managing extensions.

---

Latest features!

Brand new! Global profile! Add extensions that you use all the time when coding (like Git History and GitLens, your theme extensions). Edit your Global profile (automatically added after the first launch after the update) and add extensions you want always enabled. They are automatically loaded in when any profile is enabled.

---

Have too many extensions? Want to organise all of them? Some maybe even conflicting with each other? ExEx was created exactly to solve these and many more problems. Now with this extension installed you can separate your extensions into profiles and enable only those you need for a specific workspace.

All features

• Create a profile.
• Enable many profiles at a time.

Commands

• xx.createProfile - Create a profile.
• xx.enableProfile - Enable profiles (leave no profiles selected to disable all extensions).
• xx.deleteProfile - Delete a profile.
• xx.editProfile - Edit a profile (chage what extension to enable/disable).
• xx.renameProfile - Rename a profile.
• xx.duplicateProfile - Duplicate a profile.

Known Issues

• Some extensions like jshint do not follow the traditional naming in their package.json, so they might break ExEx. Despite the fixes this issue might still happen for some users, though it is quite rare and inconsistent. Please report any issues with ExEx after installing new extensions.

Future features

These are some of my ideas for the future:

• Syncing with settings
• Import/export a profile to a file
