How to open a folder from terminal on a Mac?

Question

I want to open a folder that has all my resumes in it, how can I do that from the terminal?

Solution 1

navigate to the dir and type

open .

Solution 2

You can use:

cd dirname

to change the working directory. For example:

cd resumes

will change to the "resumes" folder. You can then manipulate it with other commands (ls, mv, cp , rm, and many others).

"open path to file" will work as well.
