What is the CLI command to edit a file using code-server?

Normally I would use code <filename>code <filename> in VSCode, is there an equivalent with code-server?

Solution

@John King it's code-server <filename>code-server <filename>
https://github.com/coder/code-server/issues/164#issuecomment-683707810
so you can alias code="code-server"alias code="code-server"

If your team has been fighting to keep AI coding tools unblocked, this one is a good read. Security teams are shutting down tools like Cursor, Claude Code, and Copilot Workspace because local laptops can’t give them the visibility, boundaries, or audit trails they need. Devs lose access. Innovation slows down. No one wins. The blog breaks down: - Why local AI agents are a governance nightmare - What’s actually causing tools to get blocked - The hidden costs companies are ignoring - Why remote, self-hosted development is becoming mandatory - How teams are using Coder to run AI tools safely without slowing developers down If you’re building agents, shipping real AI workflows, or pushing for better infra inside your company, give it a read.
