How can I open the present working directory (pwd) in Nautilus from the terminal?

Question

How can I open a directory which I am currently working on from terminal in nautilus file manager?

Don't. Your question contains the term `present` working directory. The other does not contain that terminology (if uses `current`). If we keep the question, people searching on `pwd` will be redirected via this question to the other question. — don.joey, Mar 15 '13 at 07:16
As @Private says, we generally keep duplicates. We handle them by closing them. When a question is closed as a duplicate of another question, it is made to point clearly to that other question.

nautilus works as

nautilus [options] URIs...

Now, to open pwd in nautilus, we can do

nautilus ./

Type

nautilus .

There is no need to add more than the .

You could make this an alias: alias n="nautilus ." and then you can just type n in the commandline to open the cwd in nautilus.
