Other Information

Minor issue. It appears the current brew installation of Visual Studio Code (as of this writing, v 1.61.1) already puts the code command in the path by default. It puts it at /usr/local/bin/code.

% ls -l /usr/local/bin/code
lrwxr-xr-x  1 xxxxx  xxxxx  68 Oct 15 00:48 /usr/local/bin/code -> /Applications/Visual Studio Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/bin/code

So you can remove the macOS integration section on the Visual Studio Code page. Or at least remove the first two lines and just retain the two bullets.

Thanks.

Doesn't appear to be part of the install or zap stanza currently.

Hey @machale, @otkd, @xmlking, I addressed this kind of issue in a similar project: Mac-Setup guide. Check it out, maybe it will be useful too 😉
