HOWTO: Disassociate/Unassociate File Types From a Mac App

I got super tired of Xcode opening everything: .rb, .sh, etc etc etc....

Here is how to stop Xcode from opening everything!

NOTE: It may be helpful to know that I found the lsregister command right here:

/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/Current/Support/lsregister

Extra Points

I created a symlink as well.

 ln -s /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/Current/Support/lsregister ~/bin/lsregister

Actual Usage

Finally, here is how disassociate all file types from the Xcode app.

lsregister -u /Applications/Xcode.app
