Export your currently installed vscode extensions to a shareable JSON file and use the provided Extension Viewer to view & install extensions present in the JSON file.

ExtShare allows you to share your vscode extensions with your friends and colleagues via a JSON file export:

When any .ext-share.json file is opened, the Extension Viewer will automatically open (and close) with it.

It allows you to browse listed extensions in the file in a similar manner as the vscode Extensions page:
