Launching code from the command line

In order to launch code from the command line, you need to add code to your PATH environment variable.

Open the VSCode's Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P) and type shell command to open the Shell Command menu:

Shell command

Select Install 'code' command in PATH.

If you got permission denied error from your system like this:

EACCES: permission denied
unlink '/usr/local/bin/code'

Simply run Unintall 'code' command in PATH first, then run Install 'code' command in PATH again. That's should fix it.

Now try open a file or folder with code command:

$ code ~/.bash_profile
# or cd ./your-project && code .

The project/file should open in VSCode now.
