What is the purpose of adding vscode to the path?

Adding the executable file path of VS Code to the system’s `PATH` environment variable allows you to directly launch the VS Code editor using the `code` command in the command line.

Specifically, the purpose of adding VS Code to PATH is:

Conveniently launch VS Code quickly by simply entering the command “code” in the terminal, instead of having to search for and double-click the executable file in the file explorer every time.

Conveniently open the current directory from the command line by entering the command “code .” This will directly open the VS Code editor in the current directory, making it easy to quickly edit files in the working directory.

Allow performing other VS Code-related operations in the command line, such as checking the installed version with code –version or installing extensions with code –install-extension .

In conclusion, adding the executable file path of VS Code to the system’s PATH environment variable can enhance your efficiency and convenience when using VS Code in the command line.
