How can I upgrade Visual Studio Code?

What's the best way to upgrade Visual Studio Code on Ubuntu?

For the time being, I was periodically getting the newest version (.deb) from their official site:

sudo dpkg -i code_*.deb
Solution

  • Visual Studio Code enabled official Linux repositories on February 2017 (v1.10)

    sudo add-apt-repository -y "deb https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/vscode stable main "
sudo apt update
sudo apt -y install code

    You can upgrade / dist-upgrade as usual

    sudo apt -y upgrade
sudo apt -y dist-upgrade
