How to open google chrome from terminal?

On Linux, just use this command in a terminal:

google-chrome

If you just want to open the Google Chrome from terminal instantly for once then open -a "Google Chrome" works fine from Mac Terminal.

If you want to use an alias to call Chrome from terminal then you need to edit the bash profile and add an alias on ~/.bash_profile or ~/.zshrc file.The steps are below :

• Edit ~/.bash_profile or ~/.zshrc file and add the following line alias chrome="open -a 'Google Chrome'"
• Save and close the file.
• Logout and relaunch Terminal
• Type chrome filename for opening a local file.
• Type chrome url for opening url.

From the macOS Terminal, use open with the -a flag and give the name of the app you want to open. In this case "Google Chrome". You may pass it a file or URL you want it to open with.

open -a "Google Chrome" index.html
