cc project open

Open a project in your IDE without switching the active environment.

Usage

cc project open [name] [flags]

Arguments

ArgumentDescription
nameProject to open. Omit to open the active environment.

Flags

FlagDescription
-n, --newOpen in a new IDE window

If the named project has multiple environments, cc prompts you to pick one. A name that doesn't match an existing project offers to create it.

Examples

cc project open             # open the active environment in your IDE
cc project open acme        # open 'acme' in the current IDE window
cc project open acme -n     # open 'acme' in a new window

Difference from cc switch

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

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