Open a folder in vscode through Finder in macOS?

If you want to do it in Finder, you can write an Automator script to do it (it's easier than it sounds, AND shows you the power of the OS).

1. Launch Automator

2. Create New Document

3. Create a new Quick Action

4. Add the Action...

   • Workflow receives current files or folders from Finder.
   • Add a new Run Shell Script action to the workflow. (drag the "Run Shell Script" object, highlighted in the screenshot, to the empty window on the right)

5. Configure the Workflow

   • Set the Pass Input to be as arguments
   • Paste the following in the input box:

   open -n -b "com.microsoft.VSCode" --args "$*" 
   

   

6. Save the action using a name like Open In Visual Studio Code.

You may now right-click on the folder and find your newly created task under Quick Actions.

Well you need to understand. macOS has different ways to do things than windows and initially it might be a challenge. For starters you start to make use of Terminal. its beautiful.

Now answering your question.

Open your VS code and then, press CMD + SHIFT + P, type shell command and select Install code command in path. Afterwards, navigate to any project from the terminal and type code . from the directory to launch the project using VS Code.
