Run / Open VSCode from Mac Terminal

Question

I'd like to run / open Visual Studio Code from the Mac OSX Terminal by running this command code .. I found instructions here:

https://code.visualstudio.com/Docs/setup

Apparently I need to include this in my .bashrc file, so I did, but to no avail.

code () {
    if [[ $# = 0 ]]
    then
        open -a "Visual Studio Code"
    else
        [[ $1 = /* ]] && F="$1" || F="$PWD/${1#./}"
        open -a "Visual Studio Code" --args "$F"
    fi
}

I edited the .bashrc file here:

~/.bashrc which points to /Users/username/.bashrc

Which .bashrc should I be editing?

Answer 1

Try this one

Open Visual Studio Code and press Command + Shift + P or F1 then type Shell in command palette now you are able to find this option like Shell Command : Install code in PATH from suggested list in command palette. Select that options.

That's it.

Now open your terminal type.

$ code .
