xed .

Opening an Xcode project or Swift packages from the command line

If you have ever used the open command to launch an Xcode project, there is a better way.

Instead of open *.xcworkspace or open *.xcodeproj, you can simply xed . instead.

xed will automatically find a xcworkspace or xcodeproj if a xcowrkspace isn’t found in the given directory. This can be useful for automating workflows if you work across many xcode projects frequently.

xed and Swift packages
