> Summary: The Neon CLI `open` command opens your linked project's dashboard in the Neon Console in your default browser. It resolves the project from your local `.neon` context file, or from an explicit `--project-id`. Use it to jump from the terminal to the Console without looking up the project URL.

# Neon CLI command: open

Open the linked project in the Neon Console in your browser

The `open` command opens the linked project's dashboard in the [Neon Console](https://console.neon.tech) in your default browser. It resolves the project from your local `.neon` [context file](https://neon.com/docs/cli/set-context), so run [`neon link`](https://neon.com/docs/cli/link) or [`neon set-context`](https://neon.com/docs/cli/set-context) first, or pass `--project-id` to target a project directly. If no project is linked and you don't pass `--project-id`, the command tells you to run `neon link`.

## Usage

```bash
neon open [options]
```

## Options

| Option         | Description                                          | Type   | Default | Required |
| -------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- | ------ | ------- | :------: |
| `--project-id` | Project ID (defaults to the project linked in .neon) | string | —       |    No    |

## Examples

Open the project linked in the current directory's `.neon` context file:

```bash
neon open
```

```text
INFO: Opening https://console.neon.tech/app/projects/cold-grass-40154007 in your browser.
```

Open a specific project without relying on the linked context:

```bash
neon open --project-id cold-grass-40154007
```
