#Iterm color in mac how to
I tell ya: mad props if anyone can figure out how to do this. drop-down in the bottom right corner Select Import. MacOS doesn't accept -color, so I assumed that it didn't have colored output as an option at all. Activating theme iTerm2 > Preferences > Profiles > Colors Tab Open the Color Presets. The changing of a tab title does appear to be controlled by $PROMPT_COMMAND, as set in the remote session's environment, but there appear to be no documented hooks in iTerm 2 that let you extend what iTerm does when it changes the tab title. I've always expected ls -color (a la gnu ls) to just work everywhere. Notice how it's all based around the environment in your client's Mac shell - once you're on the remote machine there's not a lot iTerm can do. But it does require you remember to use that profile for your rooted session.Įdit: while digging around I found this interesting article that talks about how you can change the background image in iTerm to show the hostname of the host you've ssh'ed in to. Click + sign at the bottom left and choose your keyboard shortcut, like Shift+CMD+T. On your iTerm, press CMD+, to open settings. I’d like to duplicate a tab with the same directory. iTerm supports several language encodings, vt100/ANSI/xterm/xterm-color/. When you press CMD+T, iTerm will open a new tab and the location is the or home directory. It requires no changes to the root environment on the remote machine. Although Mac OS X's Terminal is rich with useful features, iTerm offers some. You can create an iTerm profile that has red text on whatever background colour you want and you always use that profile when you're going to go to root on a machine. iTerm has no way of knowing you've gone to root in a remote session - it's not watching what you're doing that closely (and what you're asking it to figure out is actually really complicated to program). To color your prompt youll need to use the correct colors codes for your terminal, but mine uses. Not as part of the iTerm 2 configuration. For either version of ls youll need to pass the correct flag to it, which is -color for the gnu version or -G for the standard OS X version.
