Mac OS X: Open a Terminal at Folder from Finder / Open Finder at Folder from the Terminal (via: StackOverflow)
Posted by jpluimers on 2015/04/06
Thanks User Chris Page – Stack Overflow for answering on StackOverflow:
- How to open a Terminal from a selected Folder in the Finder
- Hoe wo open a Finder at the current Folder in a Terminal
Some quotes of his answer:
As of Mac OS X Lion 10.7, Terminal includes exactly this functionality as a Service. As with most Services, these are disabled by default, so you’ll need to enable this to make it appear in the Services menu.
System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts > ServicesEnable New Terminal at Folder. There’s also New Terminal Tab at Folder, which will create a tab in the frontmost Terminal window (if any, else it will create a new window). These Services work in all applications, not just Finder, and they operate on folders as well as absolute pathnames selected in text.
…
In addition, Lion Terminal will open a new terminal window if you drag a folder (or pathname) onto the Terminal application icon, and you can also drag to the tab bar of an existing window to create a new tab.
…
Finally, if you drag a folder or pathname onto a tab (in the tab bar) and the foreground process is the shell, it will automatically execute a “cd” command. (Dragging into the terminal view within the tab merely inserts the pathname on its own, as in older versions of Terminal.)
…
You can also do this from the command line or a shell script:
open -a Terminal /path/to/folderThis is the command-line equivalent of dragging a folder/pathname onto the Terminal application icon.

If all else fails just use Go2Shell in Finder. (Find it, download it, install it, drag the button in the toolbar)
