I was adding a path to my zshrc file earlier on and after saving the file and re-opening up my Terminal, I've found that I am unable to use any command what so ever.
The error I get back on any command I type in is this:
No matter what I try typing in I get this error, I have not been able to reopen my zsh file either to remove the paths I added as there is obviously an issue with them.
Can anyone advise the best thing to do to fix this without having to reboot my entire OS?
Many thanks in advance
Use the macOS Finder to rename the .zshrc file to .Xzshrc or something.
.zshrc is in your home directory. One way to navigate to that directory is to enter Shift+Command+H.
Since the filename starts with ., it's a hidden file. To get Finder to display hidden files, enter Shift+Command+..
Now you can restart Terminal, and rebuild your .zshrc file, copying pieces from .Xzshrc as needed. The error is probably in a path assignment.
In NVM repository shows how to add source lines to correct profile file:
export NVM_DIR="$([ -z "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME-}" ] && printf %s "${HOME}/.nvm" || printf %s "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/nvm")"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" # This loads nvm

I have a custom script that I pass an argument into that will create a directory in a specific folder and then cd to it, unless it already exists, then it just cd to it.
I added a zsh autocompletion that way if I want to use the command to just jump to a directory in that folder I can autocomplete the target folder and get there in less keystrokes. The only issue with my zsh autocomplete is that it leaves the tailing directory slash after the autocomplete. Is there any way to tell zsh to only return the name of the directory and leave the / off? The docs are long winded and my searching has not turned up anything useful.
Here is my zsh autocomplete

The vim manual page contains two similar -r type commands. I'll give more background below, this question is really how to invoke the first type of -r to list the swap files, but avoid the second -r that invokes recovery
-r List swap files, with information about using them for re‐
covery.
-r {file} Recovery mode. The swap file is used to recover a crashed
editing session. The swap file is a file with the same
filename as the text file with ".swp" appended. See ":help
recovery".
The -r without filename (the first -r above ) reports on the swap files of other files too, including ones in other directories
Background:
I'm trying to have vim report the swap files of a specific file (mostly to determine if vim still editing the file). If the file is being edited ( in another window, either on linux or cygwin ) I can 'raise' that window up to the top with "\e[2t\e[1t" as I have successfully be able to do thanks to Bring Window to Front
Vim has multiple swap file names, and multiple directories that it could put a file, so I want to ask vim, please tell me the name of the swap files that are currently in use for a given file, and if there is a current vim process on the file. Unfortunately, sometimes vim will open a command file in recovery mode in unexpected ways.
I'm invoking vim like this vim -r -c :q file, well actually, I'm invoking it from script, since I want vim to see something more like a terminal, then I look at the output file, so it's more like script -q -c "vim -r -c :q foo" fooscript, then I look in the fooscript file for messages like /Note: process STILL RUNNING: (\d+)/
It is beginning to look like I need to use vim -r without a file name, and parse the output of the -r report, and that there isn't a way to get the report pre-filtered to a single file in question.
after switching my focus to just vim -r, and
Knowing that vim will try to put the swap file into the same directory as the file it's editing ( thanks to #romainl for the pointer to :help swap-file )
observing that vim -r reports on the files in the current directory first,
observing that the file name associated with the swap file is reported before the process id of the vim process, and
observing that vim appends (STILL RUNNING) if it finds the active process
I changed the current directory appropriately and ran this code after plugging in the name of the file-to-search-for
perl -lne '
last if /^\s+In directory/;
undef $f if /^\d+/;
$f = $1 if /^\s+file name:\s+(.*)\s*$/;
if ( $f =~ m#/file-to-search-for# && /^\s+ process ID:\s(\d+).*?STILL RUNNING/ ) {
print $1;
$pid //= $1;
}
END { exit !$pid; } '
The pid of the running vim process is printed, and the exit status is zero when the appropiate swap file is found, and non-zero if the file was not being edited
Is there any way to show in Terminal of VS Code to show in brackets current branch? I saw it somewhere but not sure how it can be done. By some extension or whatever..
C:/myUser/project> git status
I would like to see it something like:
C:/myUser/project>(master) git status
Open zshrc file
open ~/.zshrc
Add this text in the end of zshrc file
autoload -Uz vcs_info
precmd() { vcs_info }
zstyle ':vcs_info:git:*' formats 'on branch %b'
setopt PROMPT_SUBST
PROMPT='%n in ${PWD/#$HOME/~} ${vcs_info_msg_0_} > '
Source zshrc file
source ~/.zshrc
For Linux Terminal
You can modify the PS1 variable. PS1 is a Bash Environment Variable that represents the primary prompt string which is displayed when the shell is ready.
You can achieve your result by modifying this variable with a script.
First, get the output of your current value of the variable by running
$ echo $PS1
Sample output:[\u#\h \W]$
Now you save the following code in a bash file(Remember to replace the initial string of export PS1 with the output of the above command).
#!/bin/bash
source ~/.bashrc
get_cur_branch() {
git branch 2> /dev/null | sed -e '/^[^*]/d' -e 's/* \(.*\)/(\1)/'
}
export PS1="[\u#\h \W]\$(get_cur_branch)\$ "
Let's say path of the file is "/home/samar/Documents/my_vs_script.sh"
Now change your VS code settings by adding the following lines in 'settings.json'
"terminal.integrated.shellArgs.linux": [
"--init-file",
"/home/samar/Documents/my_vs_script.sh"
]
Now each time you open a new terminal in VS code, script file "my_vs_script.sh" will execute and you get the desired output.
For Windows-Powershell
The solution above works well for the Linux terminal. But if you want to do it for another command-line shell-like Powershell, you can change the 'setting.json' to
{
"terminal.integrated.shellArgs.windows": [
"-NoExit",
"-Command", "c:/scripts/myscript.ps1"
]
}
where 'myscript.ps1' must have a function 'prompt' definition to add git branch to your prompt.
You can refer this question for your 'myscript.ps1' code.
You don't need to change 'Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1'. Defining it in another file works too.
I hope it helps.
I recently purchased a new MacBook and I am trying to re-configure my system.
The app is inside the Applications folder as 'Sublime Text.app'
I have edited the sublime.plugin.zsh file via other advice I found online to 'Sublime Text 3.app' as well as 'Sublime Text.app' with no luck on either:
elif [[ $('uname') == 'Darwin' ]]; then
local _sublime_darwin_paths > /dev/null 2>&1
_sublime_darwin_paths=(
"/usr/local/bin/subl"
"/Applications/Sublime Text 3.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl"
"/Applications/Sublime Text 3.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl"
"/Applications/Sublime Text 3.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl"
"$HOME/Applications/Sublime Text 3.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl"
"$HOME/Applications/Sublime Text 3.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl"
"$HOME/Applications/Sublime Text 3.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl"
)
for _sublime_path in $_sublime_darwin_paths; do
if [[ -a $_sublime_path ]]; then
alias subl="'$_sublime_path'"
alias st=subl
break
fi
done
fi
alias stt='st .'
I still get
zsh: command not found: st
I am simply at a loss on where to go next
I had the same problem with zsh and this did the job:
ln -s "/Applications/Sublime Text.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl" /usr/local/bin/subl
Then you launch a open a file my_file.txt with Sublime:
subl ./my_file.txt
Don't specify any file if you just want to open Sublime. I hope this helps ;)
First, try to first launch the sublime binary manually (interactively) via zsh.
To do that, you'll have to discover where this binary is. There are two practical options here, choose what you are most comfortable with:
Check manually those listed binaries, see which of them exist.
Slightly modify your script to echo something inside your if:
if [[ -a $_sublime_path ]]; then
echo "Sublime found: $_sublime_path"
alias subl="'$_sublime_path'"
alias st=subl
break
fi
After finding the correct one, create the st alias in your .zshrc file:
alias st="/correct/path/to/subl"
If you don't find anything in the first step, then your original script is really not supposed to work.
Just moved to App in mac
Check your current path
echo $PATH
Add a sym link from Sublime App to one of your path. Choose /usr/local/bin for example
ln -s "/Applications/Sublime Text.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl" /usr/local/bin/sublime
Then back to terminal and run sublime. You should be open the sublime through terminal
To setup alias for mac users;
open ~/.zshrc using the below command
vi ~/.zshrc
Add the following alias
alias subl="'/Applications/Sublime Text.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl'"
run subl . command should work properly.

ZSH
If using Zsh, the default starting with macOS 10.15, the following command will add the bin folder to the PATH environment variable:
echo 'export PATH="/Applications/Sublime Text.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zprofile
On OS X Mountain Lion The source command only seems to update my path when I have added something to it in .bashrc or .bash_profile. If I delete a path from either of these files, then use source to update, the deleted path remains. An example...
Adding to my PATH in .bash_profile
In terminal
> echo $PATH
> "/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/opt/X11/bin"
Add to path in .bash_profile
export PATH=$PATH:~/Desktop
Back in terminal
> source .bash_profile
> echo $PATH
> "/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/opt/X11/bin:/Users/myname/Desktop"
So, all that went as expected; my Desktop has been added to my PATH. Now after I delete the previously added path from .bash_profile, leaving this file empty
> source .bash_profile
> echo $PATH
> "/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/opt/X11/bin:/Users/myname/Desktop"
As you can see the 'deleted' path '/Users/myname/Desktop' remains. Am I misunderstanding what
source does? I thought It was equivalent to opening a new terminal window (which does return
the result I was expecting - i.e. no Desktop path)
When you use source .bash_profile first time, because of export PATH=$PATH:~/Desktop line from .bash_profile file, your PATH is reassigned to old PATH to which is added ~/Desktop directory.
When you use source .bash_profile second time, the PATH is not anymore reassigned because you delete export PATH=$PATH:~/Desktop line. So, this time the value of your PATH remains unchanged (like before).
You have to restart your terminal (current shell) if you want that the value of your PATH to return to its initial value. Or you can source your /etc/environment file:
source /etc/environment
