Add VS Code to PATH in macOS

To add code to PATH in macOS (in order to run code from the command line) we may to open up VS Code and open the 'Command Palette' with Shift+Command+P on Mac, or Shift+Control+P on Linux. In it, enter shell command and look for the Shell Command: Install 'code' command in PATH option. After doing this any new shell we open should be able to run code.

If you get this error from vscode EACCES: permission denied, unlink '/usr/local/bin/code'

Run in a new shell

   sudo rm /usr/local/bin/code

Then run the Shell command from vscode again
