while this is surely an [XY Problem](https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/66377/what-is-the-xy-problem), take a look at the duplicate mark! `xdg-open` is likely what you're after – ti7 May 11 '22 at 04:30

you can use `xdg-open` to start the program associated with its argument type (in your case, perhaps a directory) Microsoft VSCode is irrelevant – ti7 May 11 '22 at 04:42
