How can I show the versions of the extensions installed in Visual Studio Code?

Also, but unrelated, does anyone know the maximum file size that can be handled by VS Code?

  • I do not have the extensions icon in the side bar at all. How do you get that to show, as well, please? – Dib Dec 23 '16 at 09:05
  • Just realised I was on a REALLY old version that did not have extensions! – Dib Dec 23 '16 at 09:11
  • The minimum maximum file size [is 300MB](https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/9832#issuecomment-321478890). You may get more, depending on version and architecture. – Stephan Samuel Jun 04 '21 at 20:53

This will work from a command line:

code --list-extensions --show-versions

I do not know when this functionality was added. Sample output:

get a list of the installed extensions

See CLI Options

    To send this to a file in Linux: `echo $(code --list-extensions --show-versions) >> ext.ext` – Timo Nov 28 '20 at 06:48

    That works if you need the output as a single line. To preserve the line breaks between extensions (which I recommend), use `code --list-extensions --show-versions > ext.ext`. Either form can be dropped into a command line with something like `install-my-extensions $(cat ext.ext)`, but the with-line-ends form is easier to process further (possibly at a later time) with tools like `sed` and `awk`. – Mike DeSimone Aug 11 '21 at 04:11
  • This just opens a new VS Code window. – gargoylebident Apr 08 '22 at 19:05
  • @gargoylebident It still works for me - I get a list in the terminal, one extension per line, of all the installed extensions. Seems like it is working for lots of people. I added a gif to show it working - not sure why you can't get it to work. – Mark Apr 08 '22 at 19:47
  • @Mark probably because you have it installed, and I'm using it in portable mode. – gargoylebident Apr 10 '22 at 05:44
  • @gargoylebident If you are on Windows, type `code.cmd --list-extensions` instead of just `code`. The problem is `C:\Program Files\Microsoft VS Code` (or vscode install folder) has `code.exe` which opens vscode and is getting called. You actually need to run `C:\Program Files\Microsoft VS Code\bin\code.cmd`, which is the command line utility script. – adam.hendry May 29 '22 at 20:20
  • @gargoylebident If you are on Linux, run the `code` shell script in the `bin` subdirectory of your `vscode` install folder. Both `code.cmd` and `code` (shell script) are in the `bin` subdirectory. – adam.hendry May 29 '22 at 20:50
  • To send that directly to your clipboard (i.e. auto copy it), pipe it to a copy command. Example (using `pbcopy`): `code --list-extensions --show-versions | pbcopy` – Isaac Gregson Dec 16 '22 at 08:49

  1. Open VS Code.
  2. Go to Extensions (in left side-nav or icon with boxes ).
  3. In search Extension type: @installed

You will be able to see all installed VS code extensions.

  • This was the most useful for me, because it allows searching within installed extensions. Just typing the `@` in the search bar shows an auto-complete of other tag commands as well. – Stephan Samuel Jun 04 '21 at 20:50

You can access in the right menu like bellow image with shortcut CTRL+SHIFT+X.

If does not appear, you can click on three points and then Show Installed Extensions. You can Uninstall too in this path.
