Working with Terminal isn’t that hard, and speaking of which, in this article, we’ll show to you how to open a folder in Terminal with ease. The Terminal is a big part of macOS, and this is why it’s important that you know at least the command line basics.
To begin with, we must make this action an active part of the MacOS processes, for this we enter System Preferences > Apple logo or Dock > Keyboard > Shortcuts, from here we go to “Services” and we choose the “Folder actions” tab, we validate the “new terminal tab in folder” box and we establish the keyboard shortcut. Once this action is done, we are going to open a validation of this process, to be able to access this folder in the future by means of a keyboard shortcut. The first thing we must do is locate the folder in question, and in it we right click, a drop-down menu will open here we locate the option “New terminal tab in folder” through this action the terminal opens in this folder directly. One of the options we have to do it is with a right click on the folder, because from here we can get new options. In this article we will show you how to access this functional part of the system, let’s see: Right click on the folder In these cases of opening terminal on the folders, to make modifications to their files, we must be clear about what we are going to do, for later this action does not compromise the operation of the system, because if we make a mistake we might regret it. But if we want to do it in a specific folder, we have two options that will lead us to the same result, one is by right clicking on the folder and the other by simply dragging the folder to the already open terminal.
When we decided to use the terminal on Mac devices, in this case to do this task of opening the terminal in a specific folder on Mac, in a normal way we can enter one from the Dock or from Finder. What are the steps to open a new terminal folder on MAC? Now we will see how to achieve this configuration from our Mac computer. When we open the terminal with administrator permissions, we can carry out different processes and we can also do a quick access, through what is known as “Add quick function” that allows us to make a key shortcut to open the terminal in a specific folder, and thus save us from doing all the path and procedures again.
