If you follow the instructions at the following URL https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/setup/linux for adding the VScode repositories to a Linux host for auto updating the area is not being kept up to date.

The current version available if you execute on SuSE 15 SP6 ( zypper info code ) you get the following.

Description :
Visual Studio Code is a new choice of tool that combines the simplicity of a code editor with what developers need for the core edit-build-debug cycle. See https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/setup/linux
for installation instructions and FAQ.

If you run the Linux port of VScode and ask if there are any updates it will redirect you to Microsoft and tell you that the latest version is ( 1.95.2 ).

If Microsoft does not keep their repositories up to date it make it difficult for administrators to automatically keep the software up to date.
