How to open Visual Studio Code from the command line on OSX?

Question

The docs mention an executable called code, but I\'m not sure where I can find that so I can put it on my path. The zip I downloaded from the VSCode site did no

Note: Only for Windows Users.

As many folks already suggested ways to open code from command prompt using code . command. This will only open Visual Studio Code Stable build. But If you have downloaded Visual Studio Code Insider build/version (Which has all latest build/features but unstable version) then you need to follow below instructions in windows :

• Go to Control Panel\System and Security\System. Click on Advanced System Settings
• Click on Environment Variables
• Under System Variables tab, Click on Edit for Path Variable
• Add a new path C:\Users\tsabu\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code Insiders\bin (or) C:\Program Files\Microsoft VS Code Insiders\bin based on location at which you have installed vscode insider in your machine.
  
  Open a new command prompt and type code-insiders . to open vscode-insider build/version
