Answer 1

I prefer to have symlinks in the home directory, in this case at least. Here's how I have things setup:

: cat ~/.bash_profile | grep PATH
# places ~/bin first in PATH
export PATH=~/bin:$PATH

So I symlinked to the VSCode binary like so:

ln -s /Applications/Visual\ Studio\ Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/bin/code ~/bin/code

Now I can issue code . in whichever directory I desire.
