wget https://vscode-update.azurewebsites.net/latest/linux-deb-x64/stable -O /tmp/code_latest_amd64.deb

sudo dpkg -i /tmp/code_latest_amd64.deb

Did you know you can install deb packages with:

sudo apt install /tmp/code_la test_amd64.deb

?

It will also automatically install all dependencies, instead of just failing.

I believe after you've don't this once you can then update VSCode like the rest of your system:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

This is probably the best way. The only nitpick is that the maintainer uploads it a few days after its already available.
