I understand the "UI" version of my VSCode settings gets synced to my GitHub account, but when I manually customize the settings.json file do those changes get synced as well?

CodePudding user response：

Every change you make in the settings UI modifies (or adds/removes) a line in your settings.json file. Essentially it is this file that is synced to your GitHub account all the time.

To be sure, open the Command Palette (Ctrl Shift P) and run the Settings Sync: Show Log command:

The log shows every sync action.
