Configure Settings Sync

Settings Sync Configuration page will be opened automatically on code start and requires two things to setup:

1. GitHub Token
2. GitHub Gist Id

GitHub Token needs to be retrived by your GitHub account while Settings Sync creates GIST if you are first time user.

Following are the steps you need to perform to configure.

• Click on Login with GitHub .
• Login GitHub on Browser and close the browser tab once you get Success message.
• If you are using Settings Sync first time GIST will be created automatically when you upload your settings.
• If you already have GitHub Gist, new window will be opened to allow you to select the GitHub Gist or Skip to create new Gist.

You can always verify created gist by going to https://gist.github.com and checking for a gist named cloudSettings
