+===== Command Line Tools for the VSCode Terminal =====
+To open a file from the Terminal command line into a new window in the VSCode editor, use:
+<code>
+code path/to/filename.ext
+</code>
+To open the file in your current workspace (assuming the file exists somewhere in your working directory), use ''-r'':
+<code>
+code -r path/to/filename.ext
+</code>
+You can edit ''~/.bash_aliases'' to rename that command to something easier to remember, like...
+<code>
+alias vscode='code -r'
+</code>
+...which would allow you to edit the file with
+<code>
+vscode path/to/filename.ext
+</code>
+See the [[newdevs:git:commands#aliases|aliases section of the Git Commands]] page for other bash aliases that might be useful in your workflow.
 See the [[newdevs:landscape:tools]] page for other editors and development tools.
