By default, VSCode will update your installed extensions automatically. Personally, I prefer to be notified of extensions to be updated and view the Changelog. This is a quick recording of the process, to include the setting you can change depending on your preference, how to update your VSCode extensions.

Powershell, Visual Studio Code and Extensions
While getting the feel for, and getting even more comfortable with, Visual Studio code I have been playing with a good number of Extensions. While fun, this can be overwhelming as there are a great number of extensions available depending on what you plan on using Visual Studio Code for. The ones I am favoring so far:
- Easy Snippet Maker
- GitLens
- WakaTime – this one looks interesting
- Markdown Shortcuts – as I have been working with things like github readme and some code documentation tasks
I am leaving out themes as I still have not found the Theme for me but there are some interesting choices.
Just some quick code:
Begin { $extPath = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft VS Code Insiders\resources\app\extensions" } Process { $codeExtensions = get-childitem -Path $extPath -Directory | sort-object -Property Name ForEach ($ext in $codeExtensions) { $ext.Name } }
I am using Open Live Writer to write blog posts, still hoping a Code Syntax plugin becomes available because in my opinion this a a great blogging tool.
