Sorry - don't recall and based on the below I'm not going to do it

It's formal name is VS code, but the binary is just called code.
Stupid name, but it works.  On the main menu, it shows up under

I'm going to stick with the ostree stuff on the employer's machines
and not use it anywhere I don;t actually need it - meaning anywhere on
my machines.
