✨ Open VSCode & run command in terminal via code cli

[jd-solanki]

Hi 👋🏻

In most of the cases, when I open VSCode, I would like to run commands like npm install or poetry install to install project dependencies. For example, When I clone the repo via git, I use git clone XXX && code XXX once VSCode is open I had to run npm install or poetry install in terminal.

We can install the dependencies before opening VSCode but it's common that everyone will start the dev server in VSCode and not in the (temporary) terminal. For example:

git clone XXX && cd XXX && npm install && echo "oops! I don't want to start server in this terminal"

It will be much easier if we can provide cli argument to run the specific command in terminal when vscode is opened via code command. Once this is implemented it will easy as below:

git clone XXX && code XXX -e 'npm install && npm run dev'

I think we can merge this into #93241 which is essentially asking for a terminal subcommand. We wouldn't implement terminal control without it being sectioned off like that since there are many things a user may want to do with the terminal like Windows Terminal's CLI:
