You can also open multiple folders at once: $ open ~/Documents ~/Desktop ~/Downloads This can be used as a quick way to navigate to hidden directories. Trivially, it cannot merely open the current working directory, but any path: $ open ~/Library/Preferences However, the open command can do so much more.
(You, dear wonderful reader, know this because you read my previous post on Terminal-Finder Interaction.) Will open the current working directory in a Finder window. Most Terminal users will know that $ open. You can learn more about using Terminal and the shell on macOS in my my book: “ macOS Terminal and Shell” - Thank you!
