Is there any way to right click inside a folder and open a terminal there on a Mac? (Like the one in ubuntu)

Question

google drive and other program added functionality

I think that if google drive and the other program to create text files did that, there should be a way to do the same and add the open in terminal functionality.

open in terminal ubuntu functionality

Thank you in advance!

Those are solutions, but I want the same one that is present in Ubuntu, because I have to switch between ubuntu and os x very often. And, everytime I want to open a new terminal on my mac I try to do it like in Ubuntu.. So, it would be very nice if i could do it the same way — diegokim, Nov 05 '18 at 04:01

System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Services

Enable New Terminal at Folder

Right click or ctrl-click any folder and you can now choose New Terminal at Folder from the menu.

Yes you can. While in the finder navigate to the folder where you want to open a terminal. Open that folder and right click. One of the options is to open a terminal.

If you want to use iterm there is a 3rd party app named Go2Shell which puts an icon on your finder window. Clicking on the icon opens a terminal window in whatever directory you're currently in. You can set Go2Shell to use iTerm.

I've seen that kind of solutions in related posts. But, I want the same one that is present in Ubuntu, because I have to switch between Ubuntu and os x very often. And, every time I want to open a new terminal on my mac I try to do it like in Ubuntu... So, it would be very nice if I could do it the same way.

You can try this little Finder Toolbar application: https://github.com/Ji4n1ng/OpenInTerminal

It looks more like macOS Toolbar style.
