How to find path of file on Mac Terminal

If you are using the Terminal app on the Mac and want to know what is your current path, well all you need to do is run the pwd command.

The pwd command returns the working directory name.

% pwd
/usr/local/bin

% pwd
/Users/c2ctech/Desktop/python

As you would see in the above examples, just by typing pwd on the Terminal prompt you get the path as a response which you can copy to the clipboard.
