These are my dotfiles containing my aliases in Bash and customizations to my command prompt. I borrowed its structure and the command prompt theme from jacobtomlinson
To use this, download the repository to Dropbox then create a symbolic link of .bash_profile, .bashrc, and .bashrc.d to the home directory, $HOME. The symbolic links to the home directory are created by executing the following in Terminal:
cd ~
ln -s ~/Desktop/Dropbox/misc/dotfiles/.bash_profile
ln -s ~/Desktop/Dropbox/misc/dotfiles/.bashrc
ln -s ~/Desktop/Dropbox/misc/dotfiles/.bashrc.d
(note: I moved my Dropbox folder to the Desktop)

You've installed an application that you want to use in the command line. To do this, add it to your shell's path in
other_config.shfound in.bashrc.d:export PATH=$PATH:<path to application>

Create a text file with
#!/bin/bash osascript -e "tell application "Finder" to activate"
-e "tell application "Finder" to set the folder of the front window to POSIX file "`pwd`" " > /dev/null
in it. Save is as fin (no extension)
2. Place fin in the usr/local/bin directory
3. Give fin the proper executable permission by entering the following in terminal
chmod +x fin
Enter fin in Terminal and the current directory should open in a Finder window that's already open (instead of a new Finder window, which is the case with open .).
