Launch nautilus in location navigated to in Terminal [duplicate]
Solution 1:
From your terminal, just open nautilus as follow:
nautilus .
It will open a new instance of Nautilus in the directory where you were in your Terminal.
From the nautilus man page:
SYNOPSIS
nautilus [options] URIs...
Solution 2:
As well as
nautilus .
you can also do:
xdg-open .
and it will do the same as if you double clicked a file in nautilus. Which also means you can open a spreadsheet in LibreOffice with
xdg-open mysheet.ods
etc. I have it aliased to xopen for slightly quicker typing by putting the following in my .bashrc
alias xopen=xdg-open
