Automatically Open the Current Directory in VS Code From TerminalSkip to content
Last year, I was blown away by some Terminal commands that I learned. My favorite one is open .
to open a Finder window for whichever directory you are currently in.
At one point I had a similar command to instantly open a folder in VS Code (Visual Studio Code), but deleted it after I switched from VS Code to Atom. I’ve since switched back to VS Code and after begrudgingly dragging folders into VS Code to open them, I decided to figure out how to enable that command.
Luckily, it’s takes a few steps to activate.
- With VS Code running, enter
Command + Shift + P
to open the Command Palette (or View > Command Palette from the menu bar) - A search bar will open up. Search for “Shell” or “Shell Command” and you should see one named
Shell Command: install "code" command in PATH
. - Select it and a confirmation
Shell command "code" successfully installed in PATH.
should pop up (for me the pop up appeared in the lower, righthand corner). - If you already have a Terminal session running, quit or restart it.
- When you are in the directory of the files you want to open in VS Code, type
code .
(that is the word “code” followed by a space, then a period) and the folder will automatically open in VS code.
