  • Terminal commands I use as a frontend developer
    I am using iTerm2 on my macOS. Other available options are Hyper and VS Code’s inbuilt terminal, which I sometimes use for quick tests. You can open a terminal in VS Code by using the keyboard shortcut CMD + J or CTRL + J on Windows, or View → Terminal. - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago
  • I Just Wanted Emacs to Look Nice – Using 24-Bit Color in Terminals
    IME, this is like the golden age of terminal apps in general and macOS-compatible ones in particular. There are several really good terminals for macOS: [iTerm2 app](https://iterm2.com/) [Kitty terminal](https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/) [WezTerm terminal](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/index.html) [Alacritty](https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty) -... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago
  • My MacBook Setup For Development 2024
    Over the past few years, my coding journeys have been accompanied by the reliable iTerm2, offering a seamless experience without any fuss. It seemed like I had everything I needed until I came across Warp. Exploring this innovative terminal emulator over the past few weeks has been a delightful revelation, bringing a fresh perspective and exciting features to my development environment.

  • Everything I install and set up on a new MacBook as a web developer
    I’ve tried other new and fancy terminals, but iTerm2 does the job. I use the Fira Code font (with ligatures enabled), and the Dracula colour palette. - Source: dev.to / 5 months ago

  • iTerm2: your Mac's terminal, Upgraded!
    Introducing iTerm2, the self-proclaimed macOS terminal replacement! With that application installed, you will literally start feeling sad when you accidentally open the traditional macOS terminal! - Source: dev.to / 7 months ago
  • Apache Superset: Installing locally is easy using the makefile
    You will need two terminal windows to run Superset, I like to use iTerm2's horizontal window stacking to keep my terminal windows together: https://iterm2.com/. - Source: dev.to / 8 months ago
  • Lightweight dev tools.
    Alacritty doesn’t yet support ligatures, tabs or split panes - so be warned if that’s a show stopper for you. It does happily render Nerd Font symbols though. Alacritty is so fast I also decided to make the switch from iTerm2 on my mac. - Source: dev.to / 9 months ago
  • A collection of useful Mac Apps
    iTerm2 - Price: Free Terminal emulator for macOS features multiple panes, search, and more. Source: 10 months ago
  • Everything I Installed on My New Mac
    Alacritty is my terminal of choice. It's super customizable and plenty fast. It doesn't get in your way and just lets you get things done. It doesn't have tabs like iTerm or Kitty but I don't mind that because I use it with tmux which I have previously written about in my workflow post. - Source: dev.to / 11 months ago
  • Warp? A terminal behind login popup
    My journey of using terminal emulators began together with my introduction to Linux about 7 years ago. GNOME terminal was my first as it came pre-installed on Ubuntu, my first Linux distribution. Since then, I've had the opportunity to explore and utilize a range of terminal emulators, including Alacritty, Kitty, st, Konsole, xterm, and most recently iTerm2. It's been interesting to experiment with these different... - Source: dev.to / 11 months ago
  • Fix for “operation not permitted” macOS Ventura 13.3.1
    Install iTerm and set it to be your default Terminal. This is not optimal if you like using Terminal, but otherwise seems like a perfectly workable solution. Https://iterm2.com/. Source: 11 months ago
  • Software Developer Mac Apps
    iTerm2, since Terminal.app doesn't support 24-bit colors and I used Neovim for some time. I now use Neovide for Neovim, so all I use iTerm2 for now is the UI (I have a theme I like, plus dark mode actually works). Source: 11 months ago
  • ~/.hushlogin not working on new Terminal.app tabs for certain directories
    There are better options. It looks like Terminal.app looks for .hushlogin in current working directory for new sessions. Source: 12 months ago

    And look into using iTerm as your terminal app. There are other terminal apps out there, all have their fans, iTerm is the one I like. Source: 12 months ago
  • How integrated into the Apple software ecosystem are you?
    Obviously on Mac, spotlight is replaced with raycast and Terminal with iTerm mostly because of dev stuff. And IINA replaces QuickTime. Source: 12 months ago
  • My Installed App as Developer
    You can go to the Warp website or run a command brew install — cask warp to install it. My terminal alternative besides Warp is Iterm2. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago
