Preparing for migration

Before you move from Visual Studio Code to GoLand, back up the settings and projects that you want to keep. For information about backing up settings, refer to Settings Sync at code.visualstudio.com/

Backing up settings in Visual Studio Code

  1. Click Manage icon on the activity bar and select Backup and Sync Settings. The Manage icon is in the lower-left corner of the editor.

  2. Select categories that you want to back up.

  3. If you are not logged in to your GitHub or Microsoft account, click Sign in and authorize Visual Studio Code to access your personal user data.

    If synchronization of settings is enabled, the Backup and Sync Settings menu item will change to Settings Sync is On. If synchronization is enabled, you can configure it from available under Settings Sync is On.

Back up your project in the version control system (Git)

  1. For a project that is not already in Git, initialize a repository in VS Code. If the project is already in a Git repository, continue with the next step.

  2. Click Source Control on the activity bar.

  3. Click the plus icon (+) near a file or a folder to stage your changes.

  4. Click the drop-down menu near the Commit button and select Commit & Push to commit and push your changes.
