MacOS – How to view home directory with Finder

finderfoldersmacos

Brand new to Mac OS, coming from Linux.

Almost everything I do is out of my home dir ("~/", or on Mac, "/Users/myuser/"). But when I open up the Finder app, I can't figure out how to view my home dir:

At first glance, it seems like my only options are Desktop, Documents or Downloads.

So I ask: from this screen shot, how do I get to my home directory?

Best Answer

You need to open finder's preferences and check your username : Finder

You'll be able to find your home directory in finder next.
