The bbproject file extension is associated with BBEdit, a source code and text editor developed by Bare Bones Software for Apple macOS.
A bbproject file contains a BBEdit project definition rather than the source code itself. It can store references to the documents and other project information used to organize work in BBEdit.
The file is intended to be used within BBEdit on macOS.
Open a bbproject file in BBEdit on macOS. If BBEdit is installed and associated with the file extension, double-click the file; otherwise, open it from BBEdit's file-open dialog.
A bbproject file is not normally converted to another format. Open the project in BBEdit; source documents referenced by the project can be opened and exported separately.
