How to open working directory of a file showing on iterm2 by mouse?

Question

There is a file showing on iTerm2 screen as below

test.txt

I want to open working directory of this file using iTerm2. But ⌘-click only opens files but not its working directory on Finder. I do not find any keys or method from iTerm2 to get this.

pwd command can be used to print working directory in which the file is present — bhavesh27, Aug 04 '19 at 16:24

You can install bash/zsh themes(depending on what shell you use) that show the current directory in the shell prompt. You can then ⌘-click on that.

Zsh themes(oh-my-zsh): https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/wiki/Themes

You can simply exec open . It will open the finder from the current directory
