Yep same here. Any quick workaround?

Any quick workaround?

Edit gist manually? =)

I started editing the gist manually, and deleting every extension it can't locate. Then it got to a vital extension, and I stopped butchering my settings.

If you are using Code OSS, extension servers appear to be a mirror of the official vscode repo. Some extensions are not mirrored there, and it cannot access the official repo.

Download and use one of the MS branded versions (i.e. insiders) to get your extensions back.

Well played, MS, well played..

edit: Using official git binary but now it's stuck on an official extension: ms-vscode-remote/remote-containers. It might be because I am running this setup on a VM. Nevertheless, this extension is broken.

edit2: The error message I get for that official ext is; Error: Error: validating: Corrupt ZIP: end of central directory record signature not found at /home/user/.vscode/extensions/shan.code-settings-sync-3.4.3/out/extension.js:290:22293

So no workaround so far? I guess in my case the problem is that I installed most extensions while working on Windows. And now, when trying to download extensions on ubuntu it gets stuck with this error

[toremato]

okay, it seems this extension is no longer supported, so I'm just going to move to VSCode's offical settings syncronizer (still in preview)

RIP Settings Sync

Not yet, I'm don't think so. Last commit was a few months back https://github.com/shanalikhan/code-settings-sync/tree/v3.4.4, maybe the developer is busy with something else. Instead of official sync, for the time being I use: https://github.com/nonoroazoro/vscode-syncing/

Quick fix:

# download settings
$ git clone https://gist.github.com/USER_NAME/GIST_ID
$ cd GIST_ID
# remove some extensions not found by editing extensions.json
$ emacs extensions.json
# upload changes
$ git push
# now sync your settings in vscode

# after sync settings, revert the gist changes
$ git reset --hard HEAD~
$ git push --force
