# Migration ## Table of Contents - [Migrating from Visual Studio Code to VSCodium](#migrating) ## Migrating from Visual Studio Code to VSCodium VSCodium (and a freshly cloned copy of vscode built from source) stores its extension files in `~/.vscode-oss`. So if you currently have Visual Studio Code installed, your extensions won't automatically populate. You can reinstall your extensions from the Marketplace in VSCodium, or copy the `extensions` from `~/.vscode/extensions` to `~/.vscode-oss/extensions`. Visual Studio Code stores its `keybindings.json` and `settings.json` file in these locations: - __Windows__: `%APPDATA%\Code\User` - __macOS__: `$HOME/Library/Application Support/Code/User` - __Linux__: `$HOME/.config/Code/User` You can copy these files to the VSCodium user settings folder: - __Windows__: `%APPDATA%\VSCodium\User` - __macOS__: `$HOME/Library/Application Support/VSCodium/User` - __Linux__: `$HOME/.config/VSCodium/User` To copy your settings manually: - In Visual Studio Code, go to Settings (Command+, if on a Mac) - Click the three dots `...` and choose 'Open settings.json' - Copy the contents of settings.json into the same place in VSCodium
