sudo echo -e "[Desktop Entry]\nName=VSCode\nComment=Visual Studio Code\nExec=/opt/vscode/Code\nIcon=/opt/vscode/resources/app/vso.png\nType=Application\nVersion=1.0\nTerminal=false\nCategories=Development" > /usr/share/applications/vscode.desktop

vscode.png renamed again as code.png so line 9 should be:

sudo echo -e "[Desktop Entry]\nName=VSCode\nComment=Visual Studio Code\nExec=/opt/vscode/Code\nIcon=/opt/vscode/resources/app/resources/linux/code.png\nType=Application\nVersion=1.0\nTerminal=false\nCategories=Development" > /usr/share/applications/vscode.desktop
