Simplify shell command for Linux and OS X

[jchannon]

Is there a shell command out of the box to launch VSCode?

Atom has atom
Sublime has subl

[egamma]

VS Code has code

On OS X, you need to follow the instructions here to invoke from the command line: https://code.visualstudio.com/Docs/editor/setup.

It would be nice to have an installer on OS X that configured this automatically.

[jchannon]

Agreed. Not sure how atom and sublime do it

[egamma]

apologies, forgot that it was a manual step for me on OS X.

On ubuntu for atom, this file is renamed from atom.sh and is put in /usr/bin/atom and /usr/share/atom

https://github.com/atom/atom/blob/1ee08be508f6892a6bd2f412d03dcb70de59ebe3/atom.sh

subl puts a file in the same location but it's much simpler, just calling in to the app.

#!/bin/sh
exec /opt/sublime_text/sublime_text "$@"

[jchannon]

Unlike every other OSS library?

Closing, we have instructions for adding "code" to the path.

Not exactly a seamless user experience is it and seeing as the other
editors provide this for you out of the box and @egamma considers it a feature
I'd ask you to reopen this
