修改VSCode的插件安装目录

VSCode 的插件目录在各平台下的默认位置如下：

Windows %USERPROFILE%\.vscode\extensions
macOS ~/.vscode/extensions
Linux ~/.vscode/extensions

Windows 系统中 VSCode 编辑器的插件目录默认在 C 盘，extensions 目录会很大，我们可以通过自定义 VSCode 插件安装位置来解决：

方法一（推荐，不用每次重启电脑）：

前提是已安装 VSCode，并且已将其添加到了环境变量 path 中。打开 VSCode，然后在打开的 VSCode 中点击 Terminal 菜单栏的 New Terminal 菜单，输入命令code --help 命令可以查看帮助，输入 code --extensions-dir "your extensions dir" 命令来指定插件目录。如下所示：

PS C:\Users\Vincent Huang> code --help
Visual Studio Code 1.44.2

Usage: code.exe [options][paths...]

To read output from another program, append '-' (e.g. 'echo Hello World | code.exe -')

Options

  -a --add <folder>                 Add folder(s) to the last active window.

  --file-uri <uri>                  Opens a window with given file uri(s)
  -w --wait                         Wait for the files to be closed before
                                    returning.
  --locale <locale>                 The locale to use (e.g. en-US or zh-TW).

                                    distinct instances of Code.

                                                    argument to avoid

PS C:\Users\Vincent Huang> code --extensions-dir "D:\development\tools\VSCode-win32-x64-1.46.1\resources\app\extensions"
PS C:\Users\Vincent Huang> 

方法二

右键桌面的 VSCode 快捷方式，点击属性，将目标由

D:\development\tools\VSCode-win32-x64-1.46.1\Code.exe

修改为：

D:\development\tools\VSCode-win32-x64-1.46.1\Code.exe --extensions-dir "D:\development\tools\VSCode-win32-x64-1.46.1\resources\app\extensions"

添加了code --extensions-dir "your extensions dir" 命令之后就会使用新的插件目录。
