Hi Patrick! Great post!
I like Visual Studio Code too for node.js development.

I notice that the mac os command:

“nvm”: “~/.nvm/nvm-exec which node | xargs -J % ln -sf % ./.nvm-node && chmod +x ./.nvm-node”

fail on Linux os and it needs to be replaced with:

~/.nvm/nvm-exec which node | xargs -I % ln -sf % ./.nvm-node && chmod +x ./.nvm-node

to works good on linux os.
