https://about.start.me/
When I find a cool item I organize it there. About 10 years now give or take.

cd /I
# and downloads the latest .tar.gz from
wget -Nq --show-progress --content-disposition "https://code.visualstudio.com/sha/download?build=stable&os=linux-x64"
tar -xf code-*.tar.gz

mv VSCode-* VSCode
mv VSCodeOLD/data VSCode/
chown -hR root:root VSCode
