How to open a default workspace when launching Visual Studio Code?

Question

Software : Visual Studio Code

OS : macOS 10.14

Version : 1.28.2 (1.28.2)

I have a folder that I work on every time with VSC, no other requirements. I want to open this folder as a folder/workspace by default on launch of VSC so that I don't have to browse through and open that workspace again. How can I change settings/ write a script so that when I launch VSC, that workspace opens up automatically.

Answer 1

Set the settings

"files.hotExit": "onExitAndWindowClose"
"window.restoreWindows": "folders"

Note if you launch VSC by a file in explorer, it will not open the file in your current workspace and the workspace information will be lost (you'll have to open the workspace manually again on saving)
