I have always opened my code editors
from the Command Line
and from within the directory I wanted to open in them using a shell command
. I did it with Atom
, I did it with Sublime
, with Web Storm
, PHP Storm
, and now I do it with VS Code
. I do pretty much everything in Command Line
. So when someone has a problem with VS Code
and uses the code editor outside of the Command Line
, I have to re-learn how to use VS Code
in a "different way". I have to take myself back to when I was learning how to use a tool, and I wasn't using the Command Line. It's like temporarily retraining your mind. You can't think instinctively. You have to think deliberately.
Anyhoo, I decided to create a short little screen recording
in which I show how to use VS Code
first with the Command Line
to open a project in VS Code
then using Live Server
, then not using the Command Line
, and then using Live Server
after opening a file
instead of a folder
.
I will be hosting the .movs
on YouTube, and embedding them into the transcript of this podcast.
I will be embedding this episode of Plugging in The Holes along with a transcript in the form of a post on interglobalmedianetwork.com for your hearing and reading pleasure. I will be including the related resource links mentioned in the podcast of course. Always do. Bye for now!
