As duti command line interface lacks even a simple --help option, trying to find how to reassociate some file types seems to be a real struggle.

I am trying to avoid the apparently implicit TextEdit that is used for opening these:

# dot files such:
.gitignore
.yamllint
.flake8
# plain text files without any extension such
COPYING

Any hints would be highly appreciated. Thanks

Check out my dotfiles for some examples:

While that example was not able help me I figured it out from another comment:

duti -s com.microsoft.VSCode public.data all

Basically most of the files without an extension are considered to be public.data
