ohmyzsh/plugins/vscode

VS Code

This plugin makes interaction between the command line and the VS Code editor easier.

To start using it, add the vscode plugin to your plugins array in ~/.zshrc:

plugins=(... vscode)

Requirements

To use VS Code in the terminal in macOS, first you need to install the code command in the PATH, otherwise you might receive this message: zsh: command not found: code.

As the docs say, open the Command Palette via (F1 or ⇧⌘P) and type shell command to find the Shell Command:

Install 'code' command in PATH

VS Code Insiders

🍏 If you are only using VS Code Insiders, the plugin will automatically bind to your Insiders installation.

But, if you have both Stable and Insiders versions and want to configure the plugin to just use the Insiders version, add the following line in the oh-my-zsh settings section (between the ZSH_THEME and the plugins=() line). This will make the plugin use the Insiders version instead.

ZSH_THEME=...

# Add this line to use code-insiders instead of code
VSCODE=code-insiders

plugins=(... vscode)
