3. Replace content with the downloaded configuration

Method 3: Symbolic Links (Cross-Editor Sharing)

To share the same configuration across multiple Code-OSS-based editors:

Linux:

# Example: Link Trae and Kiro to use the same settings as VS Code
ln -s "~/.config/Code/User/settings.json" "~/.config/Trae/User/settings.json"
ln -s "~/.config/Code/User/settings.json" "~/.config/Kiro/User/settings.json"

macOS:

# Example: Link Trae and Kiro to use the same settings as VS Code
ln -s "~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/settings.json" "~/Library/Application Support/Trae/User/settings.json"
ln -s "~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/settings.json" "~/Library/Application Support/Kiro/User/settings.json"

Windows (PowerShell):

# Example: Link Trae and Kiro to use the same settings as VS Code
New-Item -ItemType SymbolicLink -Path "$env:APPDATA\Trae\User\settings.json" -Target "$env:APPDATA\Code\User\settings.json"
New-Item -ItemType SymbolicLink -Path "$env:APPDATA\Kiro\User\settings.json" -Target "$env:APPDATA\Code\User\settings.json"
