Where are all the start commands and url params？

[huangJW7]

Hey, I want to use some commands and url params to simplify some operations.

e.g. http://localhost:3000/?folder=/home/workspace can open the folder instead of chick open folder.

e.g. --user-extension-dir can Specify the extra extensions.

I want to open a terminal by default when open the webpage. Can this be achieved with url params? Where can I find all the params and usage?

By the way, /.openvscode-server/bin/remote-cli/code have many functions such as diff,merge,add. But it says Command is only available in WSL or inside a Visual Studio Code terminal. How can I use it in shell?

Hi @huangJW7, you can find cli options here and server start script options here

I want to open a terminal by default when open the webpage

I don't think it's possible with the cli nor the server script options, internally vscode will remember the previous state if you open it on the same browser, one way would be to create an extension that creates and focus a new terminal

But it says Command is only available in WSL or inside a Visual Studio Code terminal. How can I use it in shell?

cli is meant to be used inside the vscode terminals, not in external shells

What about url paramaters :)

You can see it from

openvscode-server/src/vs/server/node/serverEnvironmentService.ts

Line 44 in a3c6c73

'folder': { type: 'string', deprecationMessage: 'No longer supported. Folder needs to be provided in the browser URL or with `default-folder`.' },
