macOS Shell script - set default app for file

[davewg]

Hi there,

We have 2 apps on our customers machines that can both open files with the same file extension. Is there any way via shell commands to set which application should be the default?

Essentially, I'm hoping to replicate Get Info > Open With > Change All, but using a script.

Thanks in advance!
Dave
