Visual Studio Code の拡張をコマンドラインでインストールする

Visual Studio Code のコマンド code で code --install-extension により指定した拡張をコマンドラインでインストールできます。

また code --list-extension を実行することにより、インストールされている拡張をリストアップできます。

準備 (プロキシ環境のみ)

プロキシが必要な環境だと code --install-extension は失敗します。
必要な場合は、あらかじめプロキシを設定します。

https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/settings#_settings-file-locations で説明されている場所に保存されます。

実例

インストールされている拡張のインストール

$ code --list-extensions
eamodio.gitlens
letmaik.git-tree-compare
mattlott.copy-github-url
mhutchie.git-graph
MS-CEINTL.vscode-language-pack-ja
ms-python.python
ms-vscode.cpptools

拡張の名前を指定してインストール

code --install-extension  eamodio.gitlens
code --install-extension  letmaik.git-tree-compare
code --install-extension  mattlott.copy-github-url
code --install-extension  mhutchie.git-graph
code --install-extension  MS-CEINTL.vscode-language-pack-ja
code --install-extension  ms-python.python
code --install-extension  ms-vscode.cpptools

--force を指定するとうまく動作しなくなったので外した。(2020/10/10)
