You can open a file using below terminal commands (Linux)

1. Open in New Tab google-chrome < filepath >
2. Open in New Window google-chrome --new-window < filepath >
3. Open in Incognito mode google-chrome --incognito (--incongnito-mode) < filepath >

<filepath> = localhost/test/../filename.html

Answer 5

1. In bash or git CMD, make sure you are in your project directory/folder
2. Type start index.html
3. Hit Enter. Voila :-) you're done

This worked for me. Hope it does for you too.

Try

 open {filename}

if it's an .html file it should open in your default browser
