Open Terminal in Finder Current Location


As an avid Mac Terminal user, you may have noticed that there is no option to open the Terminal in Finder App's current location, sure this is something that can help you save a lot of time.

If you are looking for an easy way to achieve this (without writing your own Automation Script) you can try installing the OpenInTerminal application.
