The "find . -print | sed -e 's;[^/]*/;|____;g;s;____|; |;g'" is a bad joke. Heck, it's better to just tell them to `brew install mc` and use `mc` afterwards (or `exa` or whatever else). I usually just type `open .` and do the rest in Finder, although this admittedly breaks the command line workflow.
No matter how fast you can type, typing this clusterf*ck of a command isn't faster than using a better utility (command line or GUI). And I assume complete beginners (which the page seems to be for) don't know how to set up shell aliases just yet.
