Optimizing Visual Studio Code for Powershell Development

I’ve used VSCode as my primary Powershell environment for over 3 years and have tried a lot of extensions and settings, and now is your turn to learn from my experience! Here are some examples of items we will cover: – Basic Configuration of the Powershell Extension and Code Formatting – Using Settings Sync to back up your settings and replicate them to other machines – Powershell Profile Settings such as enabling Predictive Highlighting, prompt optimizations, and shortcuts – Overview of some helpful general extensions such as Bracket Pair Colorizer, TODO tree, Indent Rainbow, Peacock, and Better Align – Configuring Error Lens and using custom colors to get in-line recommendations and warnings as you write – Configuring Code Formatting and using the new VSCode “the only format changed lines on save” to keep your PRs nice and clean – Configuring User Launch Configurations so that you have Powershell debug tasks in any window, not just project-specific ones.
