cd to... Latest Release

Finder Toolbar app to open the current directory in the Terminal.

  • It's written in objective-c, and uses the scripting bridge so it's fast.
  • It's also shell agnostic. Works equally well when your shell is bash or fish or zsh.

By Jay Tuley https://github.com/jbtule/cdto

Usage:

Download Latest cdto.zip

To install "cd to ....app" copy to your Applications folder, and then from the applications folder ⌘ drag it into the Finder toolbar or drag from another finder window to toolbar being customized.

To use, just click on the new button and instantly opens a new terminal window.

Settings

To turn on feature that identifies automatically opened Terminal windows, and closes them when using cd to.

defaults write name.tuley.jay.cd-to cdto-close-default-window -bool true

To change the window scheme for Terminal Windows from default.

Eg. if you wanted cd to windows to be "Red Sands"

defaults write name.tuley.jay.cd-to cdto-new-window-setting -string "Red Sands"
