I have my profile setup the way I like in VS-Studio Code.

Is it possible to copy the profile and/or sign into Microsoft or similar repository to retrieve what plugins and behaviors I like when going from computer-to-computer?

Like with Google Chrome, if I sign into Google Chrome on a new computer/profile, I get all of the add-ins and such that I like.

Easily, no. VS Code doesn't currently have a full profile backup feature. Anything you do to back it up will need to be done manually.

Copying the .json config files for VS Code that live in the AppData/Roaming/Code/User folder on Windows (I don't know what it is on Mac) is a good start for saving the keybindings, settings, and code snippets.

I don't know if this works, but you can also try copying the entire AppData/Roaming/Code/User folder to the other machine.

If you want to preserve the extensions, you can copy the entire .vscode folder in the user directory (Windows) to the other machine.

Actually, you can use Setting Sync to have the same setup on different machines. https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/settings-sync

But, also on 1.67 version was added as a preview a basic and limited option to import and export profiles.
