OS X users don't need to edit the .bash_profile file themselves anymore. There are now two global actions to install and uninstall a command line code shortcut.

• Run the Install in PATH and Uninstall from PATH global actions
• Test the code shortcut. Try its new options such as --help.
• Test the update flow: follow the old setup and place the code alias in your .bash_profile or similar. When launching Code, it should detect this and guide you through updating that shortcut.
• Test the branch vanilla OS X flow: make sure code is not installed in the PATH, shutdown Code, change the permissions of /usr/local/bin to root (sudo chown root /usr/local/bin) and launch Code. It should ask for authorization to fix the permissions in order to install the code shortcut.
