What is the CLI command to edit a file using code-server?

Normally I would use code <filename> in VSCode, is there an equivalent with code-server?

Solution:

@John King it's code-server <filename> https://github.com/coder/code-server/issues/164#issuecomment-683707810 so you can alias code="code-server"...
