VS Code Extension Link Portability

To fix non-portable VS Code extension paths in settings.json, identify and refactor machine-specific paths generated by extensions, replacing temporary cache directories or absolute home prefixes with tilde-based references mapped to a stable internal storage location.

VS Code settings break after migrating machines because extensions often store absolute paths like /Users or temporary /var/folders caches in settings.json, creating machine-specific references that fail when the environment changes or configurations are shared.

The best way to make VS Code extension configurations portable is to rewrite non-portable absolute paths in settings.json to use tilde home references, redirecting extension links to a stable internal directory such as ~/.antigravity/extensions/.

Yes, VS Code settings portability requires mapping refactored paths to a stable internal extension directory, such as ~/.antigravity/extensions/, to satisfy portability requirements and ensure extension links remain intact across different environments.

Yes, you can refactor temporary cache directories out of VS Code settings.json by executing a refactor script that targets paths generated by extensions and normalizes them into portable tilde-based references for consistent configuration sharing.
