How to open a terminal path in Finder

Hello, if you liked this post, please consider subscribing my RSS news feed. Thanks.

There are some paths that are not usually accessible thought the Finder. For example, when you open Finder on your Disk root, you don't see folders such as /Volumes/ or /usr/. But usually, they're accessible through Terminal.

But sometimes, it may be handy to access these folders through the Finder as this graphical interface allows to perform some tasks that are not possible (or that are simpler) to do in Terminal.

So, if you ever find yourself in the situation where you're in a Terminal path and you would like to see the corresponding folder in the Finder, run this command:

open .

This command will open a new Finder window with the exact path as in Terminal.
