VSCode Profiles Script

Script to add profiles to context menu and desktop shortcuts for ease of use.

This script works by using the command-line options --extensions-dir and --user-data-dir provided by VSCode to run isolated instances.

Requirements

Only if you want to run the Python script instead of the bundled executable.

• Python 3
• Module pywin32

How to use it

Before you use it, check out that vscode-profiles.json fields are correct (VSCode executable location, profiles directory, etc.). This should work out of the box.

1. Run the .py script or the bundled executable.
2. Now you are ready to use the profiles. No extra configuration needed :)

If you want to add more profiles, just modify the profiles section in vscode-profiles.json and run again the script.
