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

Answer 1

You can use the vscode: protocol that Visual Studio Code defines:

open vscode://file/full/path/to/project/or/file

You can also use

/Applications/Visual\ Studio\ Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/bin/code

if you do not fancy modifying your path
