Note: On Insiders, the folder should be named code-insiders-portable-data. Make sure you remove the quarantine attribute, if portable mode doesn't seem to work: xattr -dr Visual\ Studio\ Code.app Portable mode won't work if your application is in quarantine, which happens by default if you just downloaded Visual Studio Code. The default folder name is code-portable-data: Since the folder will be alongside the application, you need to name it specifically so that Code can find it. On macOS, you need to place the data folder as a sibling of the application itself. This is useful for updating your portable Visual Studio Code version: simply move the data folder to a newer extracted version of Visual Studio Code. The data folder can be moved to other Visual Studio Code installations. It works under Windows, Linux, and macOS: Enable Portable Mode Windows and LinuxĪfter unzipping the Visual Studio Code download, simply create a data folder within Visual Studio Code's folder:įrom then on, that folder will be used to contain all Visual Studio Code data, including session state, preferences, extensions, etc. Here is for the user data directory: "D:\Microsoft VS Code\Code.exe" -user-data-dir="D:\Microsoft VS Code\settings"Īccessing the 'Target' field is done by right-clicking the shortcut and choosing 'Properties'Īnyway, there's a simpler solution to that problem - just use the portable version of Visual Studio Code. So mine looks like this: "D:\Microsoft VS Code\Code.exe" -extensions-dir="D:\Microsoft VS Code\extensions" Where DRIVERLETTER and VSCODE are the corresponding drive and directory where Visual Studio Code is installed. user-data-dir="DRIVELETTER:\VSCODE\settings" What I did - after installing Visual Studio Code for the first time, I checked the documentation and added at the end of 'Target' field of editor's shortcut the following (there's a space before the two dashes): -extensions-dir="DRIVELETTER:\VSCODE\extensions"
