iTerm2

So Ghosty's a fantastic terminal as well.

More older Mac users, I see them use iTerm2.

which I tried that again, and I was just like, it just didn't, it was better, obviously, way better than the default Mac terminal, don't get me wrong, but Ghosty I thought was the best out of all of them, but sometimes I just want like a minimal terminal with just no flair, and Alacrity just is the perfect one for me in that regard, so I kind of switch back and forth between Ghosty and Alacrity depending on what I'm doing.

But for today, let's show you these default things.

Let's get into Claude.

And you're in iTerm2.

Why iTerm2?

I just quite like some of the themes in iTerm.

It feels like quite a fast and snappy terminal, but I mean, it's basically the same.

Like, I've been using a lot of Moremo lately, and one of the things I totally miss is the, like, exclamation point allowing me to execute commands in the back end, 'cause I just got so used to doing that from Jupyter.

For terminal stuff, I was using, uh, iTerm2 for many, many years.

And at some point, I realized I'm not using, like, ninety percent of its functionality, including all the Tmux stuff, which I just, I never figured it out.

I never figured out how to get it to work or how to work with it or why I would want it.

I would just open up new tabs, and I was okay with that.

And then I found out about Ghostty, which I think I've just pronounced an extra T in there, and I switched to that a few months ago.

I've been super, super happy with it just because I don't need all the extra iTerm2 stuff.

And I had some problems with, with the Cloud Code, actually.

I can say that I have kind of experienced a similar thing.

I used to use up until just the last couple of weeks a program called iTerm2 Which is just a command line, you know, uh, now my personal entirely vibe coded agent console is not just at parity with what I used to have with the terminal, but is actually ahead.

It's at parity in the sense that I have all the same things, streaming tokens, you know, tool use, nice UI, but it's also ahead in the sense that I've added on all these different search things, auto-tagging, brought like multiple different harnesses to parity.

So now I don't really have to think twice, you know, am I using Claude here? Am I using Codex? It gives me one unified experience that sits on top of those two.

This would've been pretty hard to do earlier in the year, and now I'm just like getting such great results with anything that I ask for that I really don't open iTerm2 anymore.

Even platforms I think, um, are ultimately threatened.

Like there's not much that's more fundamental than Git to the software world, and if they can swap this out over the course of a month, you know, what can't be swapped out?

Так что IDE все, все исчезли.

И насчёт CLI у меня Term 2 или как он там называется, iTerm 2, я сейчас посмотрю, я забываю его название.

iTerm он называется.

Вот я iTerm пользуюсь и всё.

Anyway, we don't need to get into that, but I'm moving to a new terminal on here.

I used to use iTerm2 on my old MacBook, so like...

Getting a new machine is kind of an occasion to audit your whole tool chain and decide what you want to maybe...

Some people might say, if it's not broke, don't fix it.
