Automatically install extensions in VS Code?

Question

Is there some way to automatically install VS Code extensions when opening a project (like package.json but for vscode?)

If not, is there some way to install extensions at the command line?

The issue that @daniel-imms created was resolved in June 2017. You can see this in the latest version:

$ code -h
Visual Studio Code 1.16.0

Usage: code [options] [paths...]

Options:
  --extensions-dir <dir>                                       Set the root path for extensions.
  --list-extensions                                            List the installed extensions.
  --show-versions                                              Show versions of installed extensions, when using --list-extension.
  --install-extension (<extension-id> | <extension-vsix-path>) Installs an extension.
  --uninstall-extension <extension-id>                         Uninstalls an extension.
  --enable-proposed-api <extension-id>                         Enables proposed api features for an extension.
  --disable-extensions                                         Disable all installed extensions.
