How do I get a list of all the users on my macos machine in the terminal?

Output

There are several ways to list all users on macOS using the terminal: 1. Using `dscl`: 

1
dscl . list /Users | grep -v '^_'
(This filters out system users that start with '_') 2. Using `ls` on the home directory: 
1
ls /Users
3. Using `cut` on the passwd file: 
1
cut -d: -f1 /etc/passwd
4. Using `who` to see currently logged-in users: 
1
who
5. Using `w` to see logged-in users and what they're doing: 
1
w
The `dscl` command is probably the most comprehensive way to list all user accounts, while `ls /Users` is the quickest way to see regular user accounts with home directories.

There are several ways to get a list of users on macOS using the terminal: 1. Using `dscl`: 

1
dscl . list /Users
2. Using `ls` on the /Users directory: 
1
ls /Users
3. Using `cut` on the /etc/passwd file: 
1
cut -d: -f1 /etc/passwd
4. Using `getent`: 
1
getent passwd
The `dscl` command is probably the most reliable method as it queries the macOS Directory Service directly. The other methods will also work but might show some system users or service accounts that you're not interested in. To see only users with UIDs greater than 500 (typical for regular user accounts): 
1
dscl . list /Users UniqueID | awk '$2 > 500 {print $1}'

Output

There are several ways to list all users on your macOS machine using the terminal: 1. Using `dscl`: 

1
dscl . list /Users | grep -v '^_'
(This filters out system users that start with '_') 2. Using `cat /etc/passwd`: 
1
cat /etc/passwd
3. Using `ls /Users`: 
1
ls /Users
(This shows only users with home directories) 4. Using `who`: 
1
who
(This shows currently logged-in users) 5. Using `w`: 
1
w
(This shows who is logged in and what they're doing) The `dscl` method is generally considered the most reliable as it queries the Directory Service directly. The others might show slightly different results depending on your system configuration.

(Shows currently logged-in users) 5. Using `w`:

(Shows who is logged in and what they're doing) The `dscl` command is probably the most reliable way to get a complete list of real users on the system, while filtering out system users.

(Similar to cat /etc/passwd) The `dscl` command is probably the most reliable way to get a clean list of regular users on macOS, as it directly queries the Directory Service.
