Tips

• Pressing the up and down arrow keys on your keyboard allow you to flip through commands you've previously typed.
• If you want more power and customisation, consider downloading and using iTerm2
• You can drag and drop a folder from Finder to the Terminal to paste its path.
• You can stop a currently running command with CTRL+X (forcing it to exit).
• exit will close the Terminal session.
