Cd to directory

[BrianKracoff]

Here's a simple workflow for cd'ing to a directory. It opens a new terminal window, cd's to the directory and then clears the screen.

 

Maybe you guys will find it helpful!

I think this is in Alfred2 by default,  something like "> cd /this/is/a/folder"

You could add something like:

 

 

try

    tell application "Finder"

        set input to the target of the front window as alias

    end tell

on error

    set input to (path to home folder)

end try

tell application "Terminal"

    do script "cd " & quoted form of POSIX path of input & ";clear"

    activate

end tell

 

in order to open the current folder in terminal.

There's a workflow for that:

It doesn't only let you CD in the current Finder directory, you can also pass the Terminal command you wish to run directly via Alfred.

Just sayin'

Thanks for the input guys. I didn't make this to open the current finder directory in terminal. I made it to open a completely separate directory in terminal, by searching the file system.

 

@jhuiting: I like how you can do other commands that way, but for cd'ing I wanted to be able to search the file system to not have to memorize the path. Using ">" requires that you know the exact path the the folder. If I memorized the path to a folder, what do I need alfred for? 

 

@franzheidl: yeah I saw that, but I didn't like how you had to have the finder window open to cd to it. I really don't use finder ever.
