About:
Go2Shell is a utility that provides instant access to a terminal in the current Finder directory. It integrates directly into the macOS Finder toolbar, eliminating the need to manually navigate paths in the terminal. This streamlines developer workflows by bridging the gap between the graphical file system and the command line.
Key Features:
  • Finder toolbar integration for one-click access
  • Automatically navigates to the active Finder directory
  • Supports Terminal, iTerm2, and Hyper
  • Lightweight and easy to configure
Use Cases:
  • Quickly opening a terminal in a deeply nested project folder
  • Running build or git commands directly on a selected directory
  • System administrators managing files via CLI without path copying
Alternatives:
  • OpenInTerminal – More modern UI with support for both Terminal and Finder context menus
  • cdto – Similar functionality but less active development
