Does settings.json get synced in VSCode?

Viewed 183

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?

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:

show log command

The log shows every sync action.
