Open new terminal window 1

I’ve always thought it would be nice to be able to quickly open a new terminal window in the same folder you were already in.

Enter a handy little script Randy pointed me to that does just that.

I put it in my home directory and then added this to my .bash_login:

alias new='. ~/openterminal.sh'

Now, I can just type ‘new’ at any prompt and up pops a new Terminal window which automatically cd’s to the same directory I was in.

Super handy! Thanks Randy!
