“code .” Not working in Command Line for Visual Studio Code on OSX/Mac

Question

The command \"code .\" doesn\'t work in this manual?

All the other steps before that worked. How can I call the Visual Studio Code in OSX terminal?

Answer 1

I've tried install add code command to PATH with Visual Studio Code's command pannel, but it's disabled after restart bash. if you want it be consolidated, just create a code file in your PATH; I create a code file in usr/local/bin and add

#!/usr/bin/env bash
function realpath() { python -c "import os,sys;print(os.path.realpath(sys.argv[1]))" "$0"; }
CONTENTS="/Applications/Visual Studio Code.app/Contents"
ELECTRON="$CONTENTS/MacOS/Electron"
CLI="$CONTENTS/Resources/app/out/cli.js"
ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE=1 "$ELECTRON" "$CLI" "$@"
exit $?

just replace this CONTENTS with your VS Code's installed path. and don't forget make it excuteable with chmod +x /usr/local/bin/code
