A shell script to download and update VSCode insiders for Linux.

vscode-manager (vsm)

A script that downloads and updates VSCode insiders for Linux. It downloads and extracts the app to the ~/Downloads directory.

I don't like downloading apps using apt-get and I remember that VSCode doesn't support auto updating on Linux but this doesn't seem to be the case anymore!

Anyways, I learned more about shell scripting while writing this script and I'll keep using it :)

I hope you'll find it useful!

Usage

One-liner

1. Open the terminal.

2. Run the script:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/badersur/vscode-manager/master/vsm | bash

Grab the repo and run the script

1. Open the terminal.

2. Clone the repo using git:

git clone https://github.com/badersur/vscode-manager

3. Change your current directory to repo's directory:

4. Execute the script vsm:
