Difference from cc switch

cc open opens the IDE for a project without changing your active environment, branch, or editor config. Use it when you want to browse a project's code without switching context.

cc switch is a full context switch — it changes the active project, checks out the branch, and updates the editor's per-switch settings via the IDE writer plugins.
