Organizing terminal tabs
When opening tabs in terminal, it usually adds in the tab name the user + the folder you are, but it takes too much space and don't help much.
To help me navigate faster between the tabs, I've added the following code to my ~/.bash_profile
:
1function title() {2 CMD='echo -en "\033]0;'3 CMD+=$14 CMD+='\a"'5 6 PS1='\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$ '7 PROMPT_COMMAND=$CMD8}
After run source ~/.bash_profile
or if you close an open the terminal again, you will be able to add helpful names to your tabs:
title project
or title "sentence with space"
It wil make your tabs name be like:
Hope it can help you! :) (Also if you have a better approach to it, let me know at Twitter)
