### Opening files via the terminal

You can open files from your Coder workspace in VS Code via the terminal. We
recommend creating an alias to the underlying code-server executable so that you
can use the command `code` for this process:

```console
alias code="/var/tmp/coder/code-server/bin/code-server -r"
```

Then, to open a file (e.g., `personalize.log`):

```console
code personalize.log
```

Alternatively, if you would like to use just the code-server executable, add it
to your `PATH`:

```console
export PATH=$PATH:/var/tmp/coder/code-server/bin
```

Then, to open a file (e.g., `personalize.log`):

```text
code-server -r personalize.log
```

> If you're using Coder's web terminal, make sure that you've opened a Code Web
> session. If, however, you're using the web IDE's terminal, the file contents
> will appear in the IDE.
