How to Install VSCode Extensions to .vscode Worspace Folder

I often switch workspaces and installing extensions globally takes around a lot of space. I want to keep an extension to a workspace and never have to deal with the extension load later on.

Installing Extension Manually to Workspace

  1. Open Your User Settings JSON and set extensions.experimental.supportWorkspaceExtensions to true.
  2. Search for the Extension on Marketplace, or use VSIX Downloader
  3. Get the VSIX file for the Extension
  4. Extract it to .vscode/extensions folder.
  5. Reload Workspace.
