Open folder in graphical file manager
I used to use nautilus . command to open the graphical folder / file viewer in red hat linux. Now I moved to mac and it seems that there is no nautilus support in it. Is there any equivalent command that I can use. My scenario is like this, I open a Terminal, go to the folder I want let's say /Users/user1/myapps and I do want to use a command that by typing it in Terminal, it bring me the graphical folder / files view where I am.
Yes, there's a command for this, just type:
open .
open
is the command line equivalent of double clicking a file or directory in the Finder. open
either starts the standard application associated with the filesystem object provided as argument or, when used with option -a
, the application specified.
open
has some other interesting options, see man open
for more information.
apart from open .
you can also install Macports and get nautilus itself, I find it better/useful than Finder. Building a nautilus from git clone git://git.gnome.org/nautilus
is also possible but they recommend Fedora 25 and Ubuntu 16.10 so macports' sudo port install nautilus
just might be easier and smart choice :)
