    macOS Restoring Bash and Python 2.7 on Monterey a good idea?

    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...

    Where Can I Find all the Commands in Z Shell (Bash Upgrade Shell It Seems)?

    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...

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...

    What is the best (most reliable) way to copy large amounts of files, Finder or the Terminal?

    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...

    ShellHistory a new application that helps you to backup, synchronize and organize your shell history (50% off during launch)

    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...

    macOS Automatic loading of .zshrc inside a zsh script

    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...

    macOS Bash script instead of rm to prompt with number of files about to delete (a safer rm)

    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...
