I think best way is to use command palette in the vscode

For this to work a symbolic link file named code must be created in the /usr/local/bin folder:

Start Visual Studio Code:

Open the Command Palette(⇧⌘P) and type shell command 
find the Shell Command: Install 'code' command in PATH command. Click Enter...
Adds a soft link to /Applications/Visual Studio Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/bin/code and places it in /usr/local/bin
