I just came across a very useful tip for those of you who are looking to migrate your VSCode extensions to VSCodium. Instead of removing VSCode altogether, you can simply link the folders and keep both editors installed on your system.

Here's how to do it:

  1. Install VSCode and all the extensions you want to migrate.
  2. Copy the extensions folder from VSCode. You can find it by going to the VSCode settings and searching for "extensions".
  3. Install VSCodium on your system.
  4. Move the extensions folder you copied earlier to the VSCodium extensions folder. You can find it by going to the VSCodium settings and searching for "extensions".
  5. Finally, you can remove VSCode if you no longer need it.

By following these steps, you can easily migrate your VSCode extensions to VSCodium without losing any of your settings or configurations. And if you ever want to switch back to VSCode, you can simply unlink the folders and continue using it.

I hope you find this tip helpful. Let me know if you have any other tips in the comments below.
