Zsh function to invoke vscode remote

remote-code.zsh

code () {
	local script=$(echo ~/.vscode-server/bin/*/bin/code(*ocNY1)) 
	if [[ -z ${script} ]]
	then
		echo "VSCode remote script not found"
		exit 1
	fi
	local socket=$(echo /run/user/$UID/vscode-ipc-*.sock(=ocNY1)) 
	if [[ -z ${socket} ]]
	then
		echo "VSCode IPC socket not found"
		exit 1
	fi
	export VSCODE_IPC_HOOK_CLI=${socket} 
	${script} $*
}

Instead of using an echo with a glob you could try using ls and head. Something like:

local script=$(ls -1t ~/.vscode-server/bin/*/bin/code 2> /dev/null | head -1)

I haven't tested it but that should list list all of the matching files in time order with the most recent at the top, suppress any errors (for example if the glob fails) and then take just the first. It won't do the other things that the zsh glob is doing like checking that the file is executable, but that is just a nice sanity check. Bash doesn't seem to do anything clever with filename expansion, sadly: https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Filename-Expansion.html
