Right click a folder in finder to open it in VS Code

The best way to go about this is to use Automator which is a built in application in macOS.

• Open the Automator app.
• Choose New Document -> Quick Action.
• Set Workflow receives current: folders in Finder.app.
• Add the Run Shell Script action.
• Select bash as your shell and pass input as arguments.
• In the script box, enter:

  /usr/local/bin/code -n "$@"
  

• Save it as Open in VS Code. (Don’t close Automator just yet)
• Immediately into effect, when you right‑click a folder in Finder, you’ll see under Quick Actions -> Open in VS Code.
• Optionally, you can add the VS Code icon too; for Image, select Choose... -> navigate to Application -> look for Visual Studio Code and select it. The application’s image will be pulled in.
• You may save the script and close Automator.

By default you’ll find the script saved to ~/Library/Services/ folder as Open in VS Code.workflow. It’s a compressed file consisting of XML and static resource files which you can explore by dragging and dropping into VS Code!

Enjoy!
