code

Command-line companion application for VSCode to create, save and open files created via code CLI.

Compile and run!

You can also download compiled binary for Windows & Linux from Releases

If on Debian/Ubuntu based Linux distro, insall "build-essential" by running:

sudo apt install -y build-essential

It will install GCC compiler and MAKE. Then simply run:

make code

OR

gcc -o code code.c

and then run binary with ./code filename.

For Linux:

• Move the compiled binary to your home directory; mv <path-to-compiled-code ~/.
• Create an alias for it in your .bashrc / .zshrc file: alias code="~/code"
• You can now use code command from anywhere..
• code | code . | code hello.py

---

At the end, it all might seem stupid, but it was bothering me that running code command (VSCode one) doesn't save the file on disk when run from terminal like code hello.c until you hit ctrl + s. So, I created this, not very well made CLI program, WHICH WORKS! ;)
