How to define global launch configuration in VSCode

Question

I have several projects that require the same custom launch configuration.

Instead of creating a launch.json in each project I would like to have a global launch.json so that it can be easily maintained.

Is there any way to achieve this in VSCode?

Answer 1

You can define a global launch configuration in your user settings.json file Just add the launch json object there. This is also documented: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-docs/blob/vnext/docs/editor/debugging.md#global-launch-configuration
