launch vscode script from powershell prompt

Question

I have switched from CommandPrompt to Powershell and want to use the same command I used in Command prompt to open the file I'm working on in VSCode, ie: code. In Powershell, this doesn't launch VSCode or really do anything noticeable. Would love some insights. Thanks.

Answer 1

Try the below. This will open the current folder on which you triggered powershell.

Start-Process code . 

As @Steven already mentioned, it should also work by just typing code on your powershell input.
