    I know how to open terminal while being in Nautilius: How to open a menu with 'Open Terminal Here' in Ubuntu 10.04 by left clicking desktop, or inside folder?

    I'd like to do the other way round: while being in certain directory in terminal I'd like to open Nautilius in that directory.

    You can use:

    nautilus .

    In Unix-like systems . represents the current directory and .. the parent directory.

    browser - Ubuntu terminal command to open window to CWD?
  • oo536dhs01

    Is there a command to open a gui browser (not the web kind, the xwindows kind) to the current working directory in the terminal?

    For example, I'm working in the terminal,

    /im/in/some/dir/somewhere$ openthisdir

    where openthisdir would open the nautilus browser to that particular place (CWD).

    That is exactly what I was going to suggest but the slash isn't necessary:

    nautilus .

    You can also use a program called gnome-open which works on all file types you have applications installed for in GNOME. 

    gnome-open .
gnome-open blah.avi

    etc etc.

    Hi I figured out the answer as a result of formulating the question, about a half second after pushing submit.

    There is indeed such a command,

    
/im/in/some/dir/somewhere$ nautilus ./

    I love linux.
