Can I check if the terminal was started by Visual Studio Code?

I have a script which runs whenever I open the terminal (I put the command in .bashrc). Now when I open Visual Studio Code the script is obviously also executed in the internal terminal therein. I don‘t want this to happen. Is there any way to detect whether a terminal instance was started by VSCode so I can prevent the script from executing in that case? (I use bash)
Sorry if this is a dumb question, I am still fairly new to Linux and bash.

rick@alien:~$ echo $$

───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
rick@alien:~$ pstree -aps $$
systemd,1 splash fastboot kaslr
└─lightdm,1026

└─upstart,1838 --user
└─gnome-terminal-,25109

└─pstree,5696 -aps 25119
The environment variable $$ returns the current running processes PID (Process ID) which is the bash terminal.
The pstree command shows the entire "tree" of commands called.

We can omit if/then/fi:pstree -s $$ | grep -wq 'code' && echo true:)
