Configure dotfiles from your VS Code settings so they're always available.
Run dotfiles: Apply Config from the command palette to write files to disk as defined in config (dotfiles.files).
If dotfiles.autoUpdate is enabled, automatically apply config from settings to files on workbench open, and write changes to settings when saving a file in the editor that matches a file defined in dotfiles.files.
"dotfiles.files": {
"path/to/file.txt": "foo\nbar\n"
}writes file $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/path/to/file.txt with the content of the key. File paths are always POSIX.
A code lens is added to keys in settings.json under dotfiles.files to open the file in an editor. Saving the file in the editor will apply changes back to settings.json if dotfiles.autoUpdate is enabled.
