Mac OSX code . command does not work

Question

First of all happy new year to all, I am trying to set Visual Studio Code to start from terminal and using the instructions from VS Code site but editing ~/.bash_profile or ~/.profile file with following command does not work out.

function code () { VSCODE_CWD="$PWD" open -n -b "com.microsoft.VSCode" --args $*; }

So what could be the problem?
