Tip of the Week:

  • Setting the title of your terminal windows can be useful when you’re dealing with multiple terminals at once.
  • One way to make this easy for you is to edit your .bashrc
  • now I havent had a chance to try this but I’m trusting Ryan here
    • nano ~/.bashrc
    • The add this function for setting the title at the end which will be in the show notes:
```    function set-title() {
  if [[ -z "$ORIG" ]]; then
    ORIG=$PS1
  fi
  TITLE="\[\e]2;$*\a\]"
  PS1=${ORIG}${TITLE}
}```
  • Then save and exit (Ctrl X), and reload the file with source ~/.bashrc.
  • Then just open your terminal and type
    set-title tuxdigital
  • Boom, your title will change on the terminal each time.
  • There are also cool ways to make your title change to the last command executed and other conveniences to play with but this should get your started.
