iTerm Scripts
=============
🍏 iTerm
[Applescripting](https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/AppleScript/Conceptual/AppleScriptX/AppleScriptX.html)
automation is fun.
## Compiling Applescript
Plaintext `.applescript` files should be compiled into binary `.scpt` files to use them happily.
My preference is just to write them in Apple's Script Editor, and compile & export as a script.
If you insist on using your own editor, compile via `osacompile -o filename.scpt filename.applescript`.
## Script Libraries
To create importable _libraries_, put them in: `~/Library/Script Libraries/`
* You may have to create that folder
* These files _must_ be compiled `.scpt` format
## iTerm2 Scripts
Put `.scpt` scripts in: `~/Library/Application Support/iTerm2/Scripts/`
When you restart iTerm2 you should now see a *Scripts* menu option.
Go nuts!
## Bash Aliases
Simply put something like the following into your `.bashrc` or `.zshrc`:
```bash
alias six="osascript ~/Libary/Application Support/iTerm2/Scripts/six_sessions.scpt "
```
With aliases, you can pass args to your scripts, e.g. `six 101`.
See [this example script](six_sessions/six_sessions.applescript) for more info.
