Locate your bash profile with the command 'locate bash_profile'.That file is usually located in '/Users/user_name/.bash_profile'.Once you found the file, insert the following command.

After that , save the file and type the following command in the same directory.

1. Launch VS Code
2. Open View --> Command Palette

3. Type shell command and

   find Shell Command: Install 'code' command in PATH command and install (for mac)

   find Allow Workspace Shell Configuration and install (for linux )

4. Restart the terminal
5. Go to your folder path and type code . in terminal.

Visual Code Studio will open with your current folder directory.

Adding to Pyae's answer, if you're running the Insider's version of VS code, you will need to use code-insiders <command> in order to use the command line utilities.

This is easily solved by adding an alias in your bash profile if you don't want to type the full program name every time.
