VS Code Settings

Settings Hierarchy

Settings resolve in this order (later overrides earlier):

1. Default settings - built-in VS Code defaults
2. User settings - ~/.config/Code/User/settings.json (Linux), ~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/settings.json (macOS), %APPDATA%\Code\User\settings.json (Windows)
3. Workspace settings - .vscode/settings.json in workspace root
4. Folder settings - per-folder overrides in multi-root workspaces

Commit .vscode/settings.json, extensions.json, tasks.json, and launch.json to version control. Add user-specific paths to .gitignore if needed.
