How to open Python file to edit in Visual Studio Code from a terminal?

Question

How can I open python file from the terminal of Ubuntu?

I mean, how can I open it and modify it on Visual Studio Code, instead of running it.

I tried the command:

python3 file.py

But that just runs the program.

Answer 1

The Visual Studio Code executable is called code, simply call it with your python file.

code file.py

Keep in mind that vscode is meant for managing whole projects, not just a single file.
