Terminal is the command-line interface application built into macOS, giving users direct access to the Unix-based shell underlying the operating system. Developers, system administrators, and power users use it to run scripts, manage files, install software via package managers like Homebrew, and control system processes more precisely than through the graphical interface. Familiarity with Terminal is a common skill for programmers and IT professionals working on Mac systems.
