Sweet Mac OS X Terminal Function
This is a nifty little trick I swiped from a Stack Overflow question.
Basically it adds a command to run any command in a new tab of the same terminal window you are currently in.
For example, this:
$ tabdo cd /tmp
would launch a new tab, then navigate to /tmp.To get this trick, just put this in your ~/.bashrc
tabdo () {
/usr/bin/osascript 2>/dev/null <
Here is a demo video, sorry it goes so fast, YouTube sped it up.
