About iTerm profiles
When you're working with tech docs, a lot of times you have builds that push files onto different servers, or that build the content for different environments. It can be a hassle to type out these commands each time. Instead, it's easier to configure iTerm with profiles that initiate the scripts.
Set up profiles
-
Open iTerm and go to Profiles > Open Profiles.
-
Click Edit Profiles.
-
Click the + button in the lower-left corner to create a new profile.
-
In the Name field, type a name describing the output, such as
Doc theme -- designers. -
In the Send text at start field, type the command for the build script, such as this:
JEKYLL_ENV=production jekyll serveLeave the Login shell option selected.
-
In the Working Directory section, select Directory and enter the directory for your project, such as /Users/tjohnson/projects/documentation-theme-jekyll.
-
Close the profiles panel.
Here's an example:
{% include image.html file="itermexample.png" caption="iTerm profile example" %}
Launching a profile
- In iTerm, make sure the Toolbar is shown. Go to View > Toggle Toolbar.
- Click the New button and select your profile.
{% include tip.html content="When you're done with the session, make sure to click Ctrl+C." %}
{% include links.html %}
