There are plenty of ways to get to your home directory in Finder that are easier than opening Terminal: - If this is where you most commonly want to get to, Finder => Preferences… => General => New Finder windows show <home directory>. All new Finder windows will open there automatically from now on. - If you leave the above setting on its default, new Finder windows open ~/Documents. Hit ⌘↑. Or if you have the path bar switched on (View => Show Path Bar), double-click your home directory in the path bar. - Drag it into the sidebar or go to Finder => Preferences… => Sidebar and tick your home directory. - Drag it into the dock.
