Now, for using VS Code in my Mac M1, I have to basically have to keep a .vscode folder in every directory where I run my code on. Which contains the c_cpp_properties.json, tasks.json, and settings.json files. Is there any way to make sure that every C++ file in my Laptop follows a specific configuration if there are no local configuration files overwriting them? Even a solution which inculcates this behaviour in subdirectories is also fine.

For the c_cpp_properties.json, I'm pretty sure there's no such thing as a global version of that file. But if all you want is a default configuration and not to actually get the configurations defined in a "global c_cpp_properties.json file", you can just use the C_Cpp.default.* settings in your user settings.json file.

For launch.json, see How can I create default/global launch configurations for VS Code?. TL;DR use the "launch" property of your user settings.json.

For tasks.json, see How can I set a default tasks.json file for Visual Studio Code?. TL;DR there's no such thing at the time of this writing.
