VS Code Extension Manager for Sui Developers

A simple yet powerful Bash script to streamline the management of your Visual-Studio-Code extensions. This tool is designed to help you quickly set up a clean development environment, especially for Sui Move developers, by protecting your essential Sui-related extensions while allowing you to manage others efficiently.

✨ Features

• Selective Uninstall: Uninstall all extensions except for a predefined list of essential Sui Move development tools.
• Bulk Install: Install a curated list of extensions for different development profiles (Python, Flutter, AI, etc.).
• Extension Profiles: Install predefined sets of extensions based on development needs (e.g., Python, Flutter, AI).
• Customizable Lists: Easily add or remove extensions from the "keep" and "install" lists.
• Export & Sync: Export your current extension setup to a file or sync extensions from a remote URL.
• Stats & Suggestions: Get statistics on your installed extensions and receive smart suggestions for missing tools.
• Dry Run Mode: Test the script's actions without making any actual changes to your VS Code setup.
• Plugin System: Extend the script's functionality by adding your own plugins.

🚀 Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Visual Studio Code installed on your system.
• The code command-line tool must be available in your PATH. You can add it by opening the Command Palette in VS Code (Ctrl+Shift+P or Cmd+Shift+P) and typing Shell Command: Install 'code' command in PATH.

Installation

1. Clone this repository or download the vscode-ext-manager.sh script to your local machine.

   git clone https://github.com/CYBWithFlourish/VSCode-Ext-Manager.git
   cd VSCode-Ext-Manager

2. Make the script executable:

   chmod +x vscode-ext-manager.sh

Usage

Run the script from your terminal:

./vscode-ext-manager.sh

You will be presented with a menu of options to choose from.

Dry Run Mode

To see what the script would do without actually uninstalling or installing any extensions, use the --dry-run flag:

./vscode-ext-manager.sh --dry-run

🛠️ Configuration

You can customize the lists of extensions directly within the script:

• KEEP_EXTENSIONS: This array contains the extension IDs that will be protected from uninstallation. This is ideal for your essential Sui Move development extensions.
• INSTALL_LIST: This array contains a list of extensions that you can choose to install.
• *_PROFILE: These arrays define the extensions for different development profiles (e.g., PYTHON_PROFILE, FLUTTER_PROFILE).

To find the ID of an extension, navigate to its page in the VS Code Marketplace. The ID is typically in the format publisher.extension-name.

⚙️ Menu Options

1. Install extensions from list: Choose from the INSTALL_LIST to install extensions individually or all at once.
2. Uninstall all except Sui Move dev extensions: Cleans your VS Code setup by removing all extensions not in the KEEP_EXTENSIONS list.
3. Add extension to install or keep list: Add new extension IDs to the INSTALL_LIST or KEEP_EXTENSIONS list.
4. Export current extensions to file: Saves a list of all your currently installed extensions to a vscode-extensions.txt file.
5. Reset all extensions: A dangerous option that will uninstall all of your extensions.
6. Show extension stats: Displays a summary of your installed, kept, and to-be-removed extensions.
7. Smart suggestions: Checks if any of the essential KEEP_EXTENSIONS are missing from your setup.
8. Install by profile: Quickly install a group of extensions defined in a profile (e.g., Python, AI).
9. Search extensions: Search for an extension within the INSTALL_LIST.
10. Sync from remote URL: Install extensions from a list hosted at a given URL.
