How can I change settings.json (or whatever) so that when I launch VSC, that a workspace (or literally just a directory) opens up automatically.
I have already reviewed this other great answer How to open a default workspace when launching Visual Studio Code?
However I need to do this on brand new, newly provisioned machines that are ephemeral (meaning they get destroyed and recreated from scratch). That means that simply memorizing what I did once, does not help.
Also.... is there a way to do the same thing where the integrated terminal is already open as well? I can't seem to find knobs for either of the above in the settings.json.
This is on linux servers that students will open in their web browser using vs code server.
