Instructions for syncing

As all user data are saved in brackets.json like any other extensions, you only need to sync this file between your machines.

Via Dropbox

First machine

OS X:

ln -s   ~/Library/Application\ Support/Brackets/brackets.json   ~/Dropbox/Brackets

Windows:

cmd /c mklink   %USERPROFILE%\dropbox\Brackets\brackets.json   %APPDATA%\Brackets\brackets.json

Other machine

Please backup and remove the existing brackets.json first

OS X:

ln -s   ~/Dropbox/Brackets/brackets.json   ~/Library/Application\ Support/Brackets

Windows:

cmd /c mklink   %APPDATA%\Brackets\brackets.json   %USERPROFILE%\dropbox\Brackets\brackets.json
