Final answer:
To update VSCode in Ubuntu via terminal, open terminal with Ctrl+Alt+T, then use 'sudo apt update' to update the package list and 'sudo apt upgrade code' to update VSCode. If installed via Snap, use 'sudo snap refresh code'.
Step-by-step explanation:
To update Visual Studio Code (VSCode) on Ubuntu through the terminal, you will first need to open the terminal which can be done by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard. Once the terminal is open, you can update the package list using the command sudo apt update. After updating the package list, you can then proceed to upgrade VSCode by executing the command sudo apt upgrade code.
This command will check for the latest version of VSCode and install it if there's an update available. It's worth mentioning that VSCode should have been installed through the Ubuntu package manager (apt) for these commands to work. If VSCode was installed in a different manner, such as via snap or a direct download from the website, the update process will differ.If you have originally installed VSCode using Snap, you can update it using the command sudo snap refresh code.To update Visual Studio Code in Ubuntu using the terminal, you can follow these steps: Open the terminal, run update and upgrade code commands, enter your password, and wait for the upgrade process to complete.
