Opening Chrome from the OSX terminal

Have you ever wanted to open an HTML file in Chrome, directly from the OSX terminal? I have. Here’s how to do it:

• Open ~/.bash_profile in your editor of choice.
• Append this to the bottom of your ~/.bash_profile:

      chrome () {
        open -a "/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome" "$1"
      }

• Save and close the file.
• Run source ~/.bash_profile from the terminal to reload it.
• Enjoy being able to type things like chrome index.html from the terminal.
