Open a file or directory in the currently open VS Code window
$ code -r ${file_or_directory}
try on your machine

The command "code -r ${file_or_directory}" is used to open a file or directory in Visual Studio Code and restore the previously saved editor state. Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • "code" is the command line interface for Visual Studio Code.
  • "-r" is an option that tells Visual Studio Code to restore the editor state.
  • "${file_or_directory}" is a placeholder for the specific file or directory you want to open.

By using this command, Visual Studio Code will open the specified file or directory with the previously saved editor state, such as the open files, cursor positions, and other configurations.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
