sudo su -
Then, download and import the Microsoft signing GPG key using the following command in the terminal.
rpm --import https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc
Finally, add the Microsoft Visual Studio Code repository to your system.
cat /etc/yum.repos.d/vscode.repo [code] name=Visual Studio Code baseurl=https://packages.microsoft.com/yumrepos/vscode enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc EOF
