terminal-code - VS Code inside the terminal

terminal-code brings the power of VS Code directly into your terminal, offering a seamless coding experience without leaving your command line. With simple commands like `tode` to open the current folder, `tode --diff` to compare files, and `tode --split right` to open in a split pane, it streamlines your workflow. It even imports settings and extensions from VS Code-compatible editors, making the transition effortless. Ideal for developers who love the terminal's efficiency but miss VS Code's features, terminal-code bridges the gap with a lightweight, keyboard-driven interface.

Experience the full power of VS Code without ever leaving your terminal – terminal-code brings the editor to your fingertips.
