Mac OS X: Bring GUI applications to foreground when launched from the command line

问题

Is there a way to bring GUI applications to the foreground when starting them from within Terminal on Mac OS X? If I run

/Applications/TextEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/TextEdit

in Terminal, TextEdit opens in the background. This is quite annoying if you're using "make && ./run" when developing GUI applications.

回答1:

At least for TextEdit and similar GUI apps, open will work:

> open /Applications/TextEdit.app

回答2:

There seems to be even shorter variant:

> open -a TextEdit
