Description

We make heavy use of the .vscode/settings.json file to align settings across devs. Sadly this extension does not allow to store the configuration of which server should be installed and which files should be deployed. I understand that additional extensions are required, but lets assume those are already aligned across the team.

Sadly this means we cannot make use of this great extension since:

  • the potential for misconfiguration is not small
  • and we use devcontainers and configuration has to be re-done after each rebuild container
    • this happens very very often since we encourage our devs to rebuild every time they work on a new feature
    • which is to ensure that they have all the latest dependencies
    • the same also applies when using gitpod where the whole flow is based on re-creating a new dev environment from scratch every time you create a new workspace

Any chance configuration that can be checked into git is something you already have on the priority list?
