Hi everyone!
I am a beginner in learning the Unreal Engine,and I find this page:

Setting Up VS Code for Unreal Engine

I saw this code, but I don’t know where to use it.
I am working on Windows.
Thanks for your help.

check the doc.
He say Generate your VS Code workspace. There are three ways you can do this.
that means you can choose one and use it…
and I often use right click the blue icon file, then choose generate, this is way B.

anyway, the way c…in the command line is in CMD…
i can’t explain more…
if u a development, u know that. if not, u can find some video in youtube just type windows cmd.

Thank you for your answer.
I know what CMD is,and I open CMD on my project folder path,then input /GenerateProjectFiles.bat -vscode.Unfortunately I got a screen like this:

After all I schear for “GenerateProjectFiles.bat”,but there have no answer too.

I want know how to Generate VS CODE workspace without open project.

不是内部或外部命令，也不是可运行的程序或批处理文件。

It is not an internal or external command, nor is it a runnable program or batch file.

Sorry to paste Chinese screen,there is translate.

A few months later, I finally found the answer：

D:/UE_5.1/Engine/Build/BatchFiles/Build.bat  -vscode -projectfiles -project="{YOUR PROJET PATH}" -game -rocket -progress

Today,when I Generate Visual Sutio project files use this:

I realized that the illusory. upproject file was just passing an address to the editor, not the final running program, and then I obtained another log:

The log show a code D:/UE_5.1/Engine/Build/BatchFiles/Build.bat -projectfiles -project="project path" -game -rocket -progress,so I finally found the name of the/GenerateProjectFiles.bat -vscode. bat file mentioned in the document from the log, and I did generate the.code-workspace file without modifying the source editor.
