Command-line launcher for macOS, in the spirit of open

Verlauf

Projektgeschichte und Nutzung

launch is a macOS command-line launcher written by Nicholas Riley in the spirit of Apple's open(1), adding options that Apple's built-in tool did not expose. It belongs to the small tradition of Mac developer utilities that wrap Launch Services behavior in scriptable Unix-style commands.

Projektgeschichte

The README states the motivation plainly: macOS already has open, but launch offers additional options. Its version history shows continuing maintenance across OS X and macOS transitions, including 64-bit Intel binaries for OS X 10.8 and later in 1.2.4, a 2018 1.2.5 fix, and unreleased Universal 2 signing work for macOS/OS X 10.9 and later.

The public GitHub repository is a distribution and maintenance point with no GitHub Releases published, so the README's embedded version history is the main authoritative chronology.

Adoptionsgeschichte

launch is packaged by Homebrew and MacPorts, which fits its audience: macOS users who live in the shell but need Launch Services features more detailed than open's default interface.

Wie es verwendet wird

Users invoke launch from scripts or terminals to open files, URLs, applications, or Launch Services targets with more control than open(1). Its usefulness is mostly macOS-specific and tied to desktop integration rather than portable Unix behavior.

Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren

For package nerds, launch is a compact example of why macOS package collections are not just Unix ports: they also preserve small native utilities that bridge shell workflows to Cocoa-era system APIs.

Zeitleiste

2017: Version 1.2.4 dated 2017-10-01 adjusted installation paths and macOS 10.13 SDK compatibility.
