VSCode - Visual Studio Code extensions backup

If you are use Unix/Linux create a bash script with a loop. In this case I want to backup the extensions list and install again:

First create a list of the extensions:

$ code --list-extensions > extensions.txt

Create a bash script for example with the name vscode-extension-install.sh and input the following code:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

cat extensions.txt | while read extension || [[ -n $extension ]];
do
  code --install-extension $extension --force
done

Then run:

$ ./vscode-extension-install.sh

Permission issue? Make it executable:

sudo chmod u+x vscode-extension-install.sh

Example output:

Installing extensions...
Installing extension 'visualstudioexptteam.vscodeintellicode' v1.2.6...
Extension 'visualstudioexptteam.vscodeintellicode' v1.2.6 was successfully installed.
Installing extensions...
Installing extension 'vscode-icons-team.vscode-icons' v10.0.0...
Extension 'vscode-icons-team.vscode-icons' v10.0.0 was successfully installed.
