About OpenInTerminal
OpenInTerminal is a Finder toolbar app for macOS that opens the current directory in Terminal, iTerm, Hyper, Alacritty, and other terminals. It can also open selected items, such as folders or files, in an editor or in your preferred apps such as GitHub Desktop or Fork.
It helps developers who jump between Finder and the command line often. A lighter edition, OpenInTerminal-Lite, offers one-click opening without GUI preferences, and a matching OpenInEditor-Lite handles editors. The interface is available in English, Chinese, French, Russian, Italian, Spanish, Turkish, German, and Korean.
