Export Installed Visual Studio Code Extensions in a Form of Installation Script

updateVSCodeExtensionsInstallationScript.sh

#!/usr/bin/env zsh
#
# This script generates and writes to file another bash-script (output_script)  
# that implements "vscodeInstallExtensions" function which installs all  
# Visual Studio Code extensions that were originally installed on your machine  
# at the moment of generation output_script by running  
# "vscodeUpdateExtensionsInstallationScript" function that is implemented here below.
# 
# # How to use
# 
# 0. Edit SCRIPT_PATH specifying the directory you want to generate output_script in.  
#   Optionally you can change "OUTPUT_FILE_NAME" specifying the name of output_script.  
#   Don't forget that "OUTPUT_FILE_NAME" should match "*.sh\" name format
# 
# 1. source the script in your terminal:  
#     ``` bash
#     source "./updateVSCodeExtensionsInstallationScript.sh"
#     ```
# 
# 2. source the generated script:  
#     ``` bash
#     source "$SCRIPT_PATH/OUTPUT_FILE_NAME"
#     ``` 
# 
# 3. To install your extensions run:  
#     ``` bash
#     vscodeInstallExtensions
#     ```

SCRIPT_PATH="$zshConfig/VSCode"
OUTPUT_FILE_NAME="$installVSCodeExtensionsAction"
