2  IQSS Configuration

To import our recommended profile:

• Inside VSCode, click on the settings icon in the bottom-left corner (it looks like a gear!)
• Select “Profiles (Name of your current profile)” ← this should be “Profiles (Default)” if you are doing this for the first time
• Select “Import Profile”
• Copy and paste the following URL into the search bar pop-up that says “Provide Profile Template URL”: https://vscode.dev/profile/github/2f5c3eb559798c7c449adac706742807.
  • If you were to follow this link in a browser, it would bring you to VSCode’s Preview in a browser. More information about their browser version here.
• A pane on the left will pop up. Leave everything checked off, and select the blue “Create Profile” button
• Enter a name for this profile in the text pop-up, such as “IQSS Recs”
• Leave everything checked off, and select the blue “Create” button

Now the settings icon should have a short descriptor bubble attached, e.g. “IQ”, and if you click on it, you should see that it now says “Profiles (Profile Name)”, such as “Profiles (IQSS Rec)”

Congrats, you’ve imported our recommended profile!
