Feature hasn't been suggested before.

  • I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.

Describe the enhancement you want to request

Is your feature request related to a problem?
Currently there's no way to open the desktop app to a specific project directory from the terminal, unlike VS Code which has code .

Describe the solution you'd like
Add a CLI command (e.g., opencode . or similar) that launches the desktop app in the specified directory, similar to VS Code's code . command.

    @adamdotdevin Promise I'm not a bot, just been hidden behind private corporate repos my whole life! Figured this was an easy feature to dip my toe into the opensource world!

    I hate the stupid Windows File Explorer that pops up when I need to open a directory. Give me an opencode-desktop.exe -d . please :)
