Open iTerm or Terminal Here...

==============================

This project generates an Applescript app that you can put in your Finder 

toolbar which will open an iTerm or Terminal tab at the current directory.

I know there's already a ton of these types of apps out there, but I wanted

to make my own anyway :)

Prerequisites

-------------

- If using iTerm, requires at least version 3

Setup

-----

1. Generate the "Open iTerm Here..." or "Open Terminal Here..." app.  

It will show up in your Applications folder (``/Applications``).

````

./generate.sh [iterm|terminal]

````

For example:

````

$ ./generate.sh iterm

Preparing to generate 'Open iTerm Here...' app

Putting AppleScript into place

Setting the icon

Reticulating splines

Opening app location in Finder

Done

````

2. Click and drag the app into the toolbar area where you want it.  On newer

versions of OS X, you have to hold down the Command (⌘) key until a green plus 

sign (+) appears.

(This gif shows the process for the "Open iTerm Here..." app, 

but it's the same for the "Open Terminal Here..." app)

Using Mac OS X 10.14 Mojave or later?

-------------------------------------

The app works, but there's some useful security info [here](MOJAVE.md).
