I am very new to Linux and WSL overall. I was able to use code . to open my current directory in VSCode, but after deleting something that I do not remember it just doesn't work anymore. I put in the command and it just hangs there.
I have deleted my Ubuntu-20.04 instance and recreated it, but still it will not work. Also checked my $PATH and it seems to be there.
Also, the add shell command in VSCode does not come up, so I can't uninstall and reinstall the shell shortcut.
Anyone have any idea?
