What’s the equivalent of windows explorer

finderswitching

The documentation says that Finder replaces windows explorer. However I have gone to my home directory in a terminal and created a directory with

mkdir temp

How can I browse this directory using Finder? At the moment I cannot see it at all.

  • You can access the finder via the Dock:

  • When in the terminal, you can open the current directory in the terminal via:

    open .

Here's a finder window. I've created the directory ~/temp like you said.

You can also ⌘-click the info icon at the very top to see the path:
