iTerm2 Shell Integrations enable several useful features.

To update, just run webi iterm2-utils again.

Note: On first use you'll need to source the new config, or login and login again.

source ~/.iterm2_shell_integration.bash

Cheat Sheet

iTerm2 may be integrated with the unix shell so that it can keep track of your command history, current working directory, host name, and more—even over ssh.

This downloads and runs the same exact script that runs if you select the iTerm2>Install Shell Integration menu item.
(the advantage being that you can use the CLI! Look ma', no GUI!)

In addition to enabling automatic profile switching, the following utilities will also be installed.

iterm2 Util Description
imgcat filename Displays the image inline.
imgls Shows a directory listing with image thumbnails.
it2api Command-line utility to manipulate iTerm2.
it2attention fireworks Gets your attention.
it2check Checks if the terminal is iTerm2.
it2copy [filename] Copies to the pasteboard.
it2dl filename Downloads the specified file, saving it in your Downloads folder.
it2setcolor ... Changes individual color settings or loads a color preset.
it2setkeylabel ... Changes Touch Bar function key labels.
it2ul Uploads a file.
