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"

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