This is the first release of this small side project.
I wanted to automate downloading the newest vscode zip and replacing nearly all files,
but leaving the user data intact.

Usage

For Updating

  • Download the portable-vscode-updater.exe into your unziped vscode installation
  • Run it.

It will download the newest vscode version as a zip
and will unpack it over the old installation.

For First Installation

It will also work for getting a completely fresh install of portable-vscode.
Simply run it in an empty folder and enjoy!

IMPORTANT NOTES

  • This binary assumes to be started inside an extracted vscode installation!
  • This binary does not ask for permissions or anything currently, so make a backup of your vscode folder before updating to be save!
  • This binary does only work on WINDOWS currently!

Future Plan

  • If needed, this script will be extended to work similar to the full nvm (Node Version Manager), but for now, this is what I need.
