Many years ago I taught myself some Bash and Python and wrote a couple of scripts which I still use all the time for work. So far this hasn't been a problem as I was still using Sierra on my old Mac. But now I just got a new Mac Studio running Monterey, which seems to have ditched both Bash and...

Hello Mac and Apple friends. Where can I find the complete manual for the Z Shell which seems to be a an upgrade shell of Bash. Is there a built-in manula inside the shell itself that I can type in macOS's Terminal? If so, what is the command? I've used sudo mount -t hfs /dev/disk2...

I am using Sierra right now but will be moving over to a new Mac soon. Many years ago I learned some basic programming (bash and python) and wrote a few little scripts that I still use a lot for work. I have since forgotten most of what I had learned, though. I read somewhere that the version...

I am planning to do a manual migration and will thusly have to transfer a lot of data. This may seem silly but is there a better way than just using the Finder? I remember using the Terminal a long time ago for something like this, but I've forgotten why I did that. Do some bash commands offer...

I am excited to show my new application, ShellHistory. I can say that I started working on it four years ago when I published my little shell script dbhist. That script was convenient. It kept shell history from many macs for the last years (close to 100,000 records). But it was a time for an...

I enter commands with just two characters something like 'ae' or 'tt' but they are not stored in history and I can't up arrow to them. How do I fix this in Mac terminal using bash as shell?

Hi, In Mojave I ran simple bash scripts by just writing them in text and saving as script.sh and then running from terminal. In principle the same scripts do work in zsh in Catalina. But now in Catalina the same scripts often cause errors by not loading dyld libraries. I can fix the error by...

I'm dusting off Terminal to be able to publish stories to my channel on Apple News through Apple News Format. Yippee! Here's my question: I've created a .papi config file successfully to get access to publishing to my channel. The Macdown file from Apple tells me to run papi-client channel...

I just did a fresh install of Mojave (10.14.2) on my MacBook Pro. Every time I execute a CD command, whether it's successful or not, i get this: -bash: .: /Users/Dauber: is a directory Weird thing is...there's no such directory...my "Users" directory consists of "Dauber 1", "Shared"...

Background I always review my rm command line carefully before executing, so I thought I'd be fine. The other day while using the command history, I recalled and executed a previous command, thinking it's "ls some files", but didn't notice it's "rm some files". I executed that in a different...

I'm attempting to setup a Launch Agent that will run a simple shell script to mount a FUSE drive at login. I have written a .plist file and moved it into the ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ directory (shown below). Both the .plist and the shell script have permissions of 755. I am able to use the...
