It can be quite useful to check in project-wide shared editor settings so that everyone in the team is using the same linter/formatter editor settings. We do that in my team for VS Code settings and extensions, even tasks.

I haven't checked if there's a way to maintain a project-scoped _personal_ `.vscode` for those idiosyncratic settings or extensions you want applied to only this project but wouldn't be appropriate to foist on everyone else. I hope there is.
