Add a command to Finder services in Mac OSX to open a folder in VS Code

Mac OS X: Open in Visual Studio Code

- Open Automator 
- File -> New -> Service 
- Change "Service Receives" to "files or folders" in "Finder" 
- Add a "Run Shell Script" action 
- Change "Pass input" to "as arguments" 
- Paste the following in the shell script box: open -n -b "com.microsoft.VSCode" --args "$*" 
- Save it as something like "Open in Visual Studio Code"

Thanks for this!

Here's an update for Catalina, since Automator has changed a bit over time...

• Open Automator
• File -> New -> Quick Action
• Change "Workflow Receives current" to "files or folders" in "Finder"
• Add a "Run Shell Script" action
• Change "Pass input" to "as arguments"
• Paste the following in the shell script box: open -n -b "com.microsoft.VSCode" --args "$*"
• Save it as something like "Open in Visual Studio Code"

After saving, it should be available on any folder in Finder under the menu Services

updated for Big Sur (doesn't run a script, picks the app's icon) https://gist.github.com/aamnah/9b66ab2462e1b50358455dbd3c9c2f0f
