  • While not exactly what you are looking for there is a "sync.autoUpload": true, setting which will upload your settings whenever the files change. – Mark Feb 21 '19 at 01:12

The Settings Sync extension does have an option to upload the settings whenever thesettings are changed:

Toggle Auto-Upload on change

Auto-upload is disabled by default. When the settings are changed and saved this feature will automatically start the upload process and save the settings online.

Select Command "Sync : Advanced Options > Toggle Auto-Upload on Settings Change" command to Turn ON / OFF the auto-upload.

Or set 

"sync.autoUpload": true,

false is the default.

------- UPDATE -----------

Also see https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-docs/blob/vnext/release-notes/v1_43.md#settings-sync as a preview feature in v1.43. Or see my fuller answer here:

Is there any way to sync my Visual Studio Code settings between instances?

You can now sign in with your GitHub account to synchronize your VS Code preferences.
