- Find your Brackets user folder (usually ~/Library/Application Support/Brackets) and move
brackets.json
andextensions/
to a shared folder (e.g. Dropbox) Add a symlinks to the moved file and folder:
cd ~/Library/Application Support/Brackets
ln -s ~/Library/Mobile\ Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/config/Brackets/extensions/
ln -s ~/Library/Mobile\ Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/config/Brackets/brackets.json
On your other machine make sure your config folder is done syncing, delete
brackets.json
andextensions/
from your Brackets user folder and setup your symlinks in the same way. Done \o/
PS: If you think: but why not syncing the entire Brackets user folder: I did that but I was bugged by the fact that Brackets was constantly complaining about not finding recently opened files and folders, which are saved in state.json. So I made sure that this file won’t be synced.
