Rider Start Script

Bash script for Mac to start rider from command line and open the current Unreal Project.

Why

Like Android Studio with it's studio and Visual Studio Code with code we want to be able to just type rider in a folder and have it do the right thing.

If you run this command from a directory with at least one MyUnrealProject.uproject file it will open the first one it finds using the version of Rider installed in your Mac /Applications folder.
