A Sublime Text plugin that synchronizes settings across devices using GitHub Gists.
Sync Settings is a Sublime Text plugin that synchronizes editor settings, packages, and configurations across multiple devices using GitHub Gists as a backend. It solves the problem of maintaining consistent development environments when working on different computers by automatically backing up and restoring Sublime Text preferences.
Sublime Text users who work across multiple devices and want to maintain consistent editor configurations, packages, and settings without manual copying.
Developers choose Sync Settings because it provides a free, open-source alternative to manual configuration management with the reliability of GitHub infrastructure, cross-platform compatibility, and granular control over what gets synchronized.

Uses GitHub Gists for encrypted backup storage, leveraging GitHub's reliable infrastructure for cross-device sync, as highlighted in the README.
Works seamlessly on Windows, Linux, and macOS with Sublime Text 3, ensuring consistent editor environments across different operating systems.
Includes an auto_upgrade setting to sync configurations automatically on Sublime Text startup, reducing manual effort for users.
Offers pattern-based included_files and excluded_files lists for precise management of synced content, using Unix shell-style patterns.
The README explicitly states it's unmaintained, meaning no future updates, bug fixes, or security patches, which risks long-term usability.
Relies solely on GitHub Gists; users cannot easily switch to other backup services, and API changes could break functionality without fixes.
Requires manual setup of GitHub access tokens and gist management, which can be cumbersome for users unfamiliar with GitHub's API.
