Quickly open an app in Terminal

To open an app in terminal, type open -a AppName or open /Applications/AppName.app if you want to specify the path. I use it for starting VNC server via SSH.

Bonus:  echo “set completion-ignore-case On” > ~/.inputrc will make auto-completion case-insensitive.

You probably also know this, but you can open a folder in the Finder from the Terminal using open .
