If you're getting following Error:
/usr/local/bin/code: line 6: /usr/bin/python: No such file or directory
/usr/local/bin/code: line 10: ./MacOS/Electron: No such file or directory
Update python to python3 in following File:
/Applications/Visual\ Studio\ Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/bin/code

This helped me! I went to /Applications/Visual Studio Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/bin and opened the file with "nano code". In the sixth line I changed python to python3. Now it works like a charm.
To avoid changing VS Code files, you can add file named python to your path that just execs python3. For example, create a new file named /usr/local/bin/python:
#!/bin/sh
# work around missing `python` executable by calling `python3`
exec python3 "$@"
Then chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/python
After quitting and relaunching your shell to ensure paths are re-hashed, everything should work again.

Open the file located at /Applications/Visual Studio Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/bin/code and change python to /usr/bin/python.

For people who face the issue of -bash: /Applications/Visual Studio Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/bin/: is a directory despite following the solution by joaomoreno https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/3941, please add code at the end of the file path: alias code="/Applications/Visual\ Studio\ Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/bin/code"

do you get this pop up when you try to install?
EACCES: permission denied, unlink '/usr/local/bin/code'
If so, what worked for me was uninstalling via the shift, cmd, P, dropdown in vscode and re-installing. hope that helps

You can try and just let vscode uninstall / reinstall the command from the command palette, like this:
