Visual Studio Code fish shell shortcut

README.md

Put this in your config.fish

run

code path/to/project

code.fish

function code
  set location "$PWD/$argv"
  open -n -b "com.microsoft.VSCode" --args $location
end

What problem is this solving? On Linux, code will automatically be in your PATH when you install VS Code, and on a Mac you can Install 'code' command in PATH via the command palette.

this wont support flags like --disable-extensions! any solution?

better to use official launcher, it resolves relative urls
code /etc/hosts code ../hosts
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/setup/mac#_launching-from-the-command-line

if you already have an alias named 'code', like I do, I think this is a great alternative. I don't find any option to use the official launcher under a different alias

This would be closer to the way it works in BASH and ZSH:

function code --wraps='/Applications/Visual Studio Code 2.app/Contents/Resources/app/bin/code' --description 'alias code /Applications/Visual Studio Code 2.app/Contents/Resources/app/bin/code'
  /Applications/Visual\ Studio\ Code\ 2.app/Contents/Resources/app/bin/code $argv;
end

I used FISH's "alias" command to generate the function, and then I edited the function to add the escape characters for the spaces in the path.

Visual code has a new way to add code into your PATH env, if you're not already using code as a command for other thing ....

1. Open visual studio code;
2. Hit ⌘ + SHIFT + P (mac) or ALT+SHIFT+P (windows/linux);
3. Then search for: "Install 'code' command in PATH" and hit ENTER;
4. Authenticate yourself;

This should add code command into your PATH
