Hi everyone, I've done a short demo script (https://github.com/lonsbio/data-shell) of using the Unix shell with a Finder window synced to the current directory. I'm not sure if this even good idea, or has been tried before, but I thought it would at least be interesting to do a proof of concept regardless.
The intention is that it would ease newcomers into the shell by having a familiar view side-by-side, and get across that the shell is just another way to interact with the underlying filesystem. I'd expect only the demonstrator to use it. It's Mac only at the moment as it uses Applescript. There is short video of how it would work in practice: https://youtu.be/pMAWjMS_rww I've not taught it in a lesson, but am curious to see how it would go. Interested in your feedback either way! Thanks Andrew Lonsdale http://lonsbio.com.au
