open: Run a graphical macOS app based on the [b]undle identifier (refer to `osascript` for an easy way to get this).
$ open -b ${com-domain-application}
try on your machine
The command "open -b ${com-domain-application}" is used to open a specific application on a Mac computer.
Here is a breakdown of the command:
- "open" is a built-in command in macOS that is used to open files, directories, and applications.
- "-b" is an option that specifies that the following argument will be the bundle identifier of the application to be opened.
- "${com-domain-application}" represents the bundle identifier of the application. The bundle identifier is a unique identifier for each application on macOS and is usually in the format of "com.domain.application".
By running this command and replacing "${com-domain-application}" with the actual bundle identifier of an application, you can open that application directly from the command line.
