Start terminal at particular directory

Question

I always need to go at workspace directory using cd, I got bored with this. I want that terminal should be opened at my workspace directory on start, is there any way to do this? Please suggest.

@hg8 No duplicate (at least not to your linked question). Answer by user "migrc" is correct, as the user wants to change the terminal's default initial working directory. — Byte Commander, Oct 23 '15 at 08:20

You can edit your ~/.bashrc and append the cd command you want to the end of this file.

cd /desired_directory/

Now when you open the terminal, the current working directory will be this.

Full answer can be found here

Briefly, what you need is to install nautilus

sudo apt-get install nautilus-open-terminal

After it, you can right click in any directory and there will be an option called "Open in terminal"
