cd_to

The utility adds a button to the macOS Finder toolbar that opens the directory shown in Finder in a terminal window. When the button is pressed, it launches a new Terminal, iTerm, Hyper, or X11 session positioned in the current folder, allowing immediate command‑line access without manual navigation. It is written in Objective‑C and employs the macOS scripting bridge for quick execution, and it works with any shell such as bash, fish, or tcsh.

Installation consists of copying the appropriate application bundle (chosen for the preferred terminal emulator) into the Applications folder and dragging it onto the Finder toolbar. The process is compatible with macOS 10.9 and later, requiring a simple key combination for the drag operation on older releases. The tool is distributed under the MIT license and is maintained as a stable, open‑source project.
