hacktext.txt

To open a command line shell in the pantheon File Browser in elementary OS, you need to create a text file and paste code into it.

The location of the file which needs to be created is:

/usr/share/contractor/openinterminal.contract

One command you can use to edit it is:

sudo nano /usr/share/contractor/openinterminal.contract

On elementary OS 5.0 Juno
