Mac Terminal: key points and the list of alternative solutions

As it is known, the capabilities of OS X do not end with “System Preferences”. When using Mac Terminal application, you can do almost anything with the system. In this article, we will tell you about the command line, its tricks that will help you make the Mac even more convenient as well as will provide you with a list of top 10 macOS Terminal emulators. Let’s go.

 

What is the macOS command line?

To begin with, it is important to understand what the command line is. This is a special utility due to which the user can work with the operating system. You can configure many parameters, open some functions, etc. Of course, most of the settings are reproduced through the usual settings, but some of them can only be done using the command line. This is required in cases when:

  • There are no such parameters in the usual settings.
  • The opened utility does not have a graphical interface.
  • It is necessary to configure several settings at once.

Sometimes it’s much easier to make settings using the command line. You can configure dozens of parameters at the same time, the main thing is to know how Mac Terminal works, and its commands.
