visual studio code - Where is the tasks.json file in vscode?

Question

I just start to use vscode in linux. I know that the build configuration are set in tasks.json. But where does this file locate?

I tried Ctrl-Shift-P then

tasks, no commands matching.

build, no commands matching.

I also tried to find it in ~/.vscode folder, nothing here!

Is there a way to find / open this file?
