Description

Thanks for all your maintenance!

I propose to add open subcommand like xcodes open Example.xcodeproj
This will open Example.xcodeproj in Xcode version which wrote in .xcode-version

open command (/usr/bin/open) does the same thing, but I would like to specify the Xcode version for each project.

I'm ready to implement and put out a pull request.

I would like to hear your opinion before submitting a pull request.

What do you think?

Thank you!

Research direction

Start by locating the CLI subcommand definitions and the existing handling for .xcode-version. Trace how a project path and Xcode version are resolved, then verify that xcodes open Example.xcodeproj opens the project with the version specified by .xcode-version.
