How to Open Google Chrome from Terminal?

From the macOS Terminal, use open with the -a flag and give the name of the app you want to open. In this case "Google Chrome". You may pass it a file or URL you want it to open with.

open -a "Google Chrome" index.html 

On Linux, just use this command in a terminal:

google-chrome

If you just want to open the Google Chrome from terminal instantly for once then open -a "Google Chrome" works fine from Mac Terminal.

If you want to use an alias to call Chrome from terminal then you need to edit the bash profile and add an alias on ~/.bash_profile or ~/.zshrc file.The steps are below :

• Edit ~/.bash_profile or ~/.zshrc file and add the following line alias chrome="open -a 'Google Chrome'"
• Save and close the file.
• Logout and relaunch Terminal
• Type chrome filename for opening a local file.
• Type chrome url for opening url.

just type

google-chrome

it works. Thanks.

on mac terminal (at least in ZSH): open stackoverflow.com (opens site in new tab in your chrome default browser)

In Terminal, type open -a Google\ Chrome

This will open Google Chrome application without any need to manipulate directories!

Use command

google-chrome-stable

We can also use command

google-chrome

To open terminal but in my case when I make an interrupt ctrl + c then it get closed so I would recommend to use google-chrome-stable instead of google-chrome

On linux [ubuntu] in terminal, write:

google-chrome ' 2> /dev/null

ending part 2> /dev/null ommits output from command in terminal and allows to type without disturbing comments from that command.

for new-ones in scripting (linux users):
u can also create some nice readable function in ~/.bashrc directory like:

open(){
    google-chrome $1 2> /dev/null
}

and in terminal using it like this:

open htts://google.com

For macOS you can use this command:

open -a Google\ Chrome ""
