This example shows a short AppleScript that launches the Mutt email client inside a new iTerm terminal window. The script first activates iTerm, then creates a new terminal with a 100-column by 30-row window, and finally opens a new session within that terminal and executes the `mutt` command. It demonstrates how to programmatically control iTerm’s window and session creation using AppleScript’s `tell` blocks and the `make new terminal` and `make new session` commands.

view_attachment.sh file for mutt on OSX. Tweaked from others available on the net to handle filenames with multiple dots in them, as well as correctly parsing the output of `file -bi` when a type is not specified.

This script shows how to automate email attachment viewing on macOS by copying a file to a temporary directory and opening it with the default application or a specified one. It uses the `file -bi` command to discern the MIME type when none is given, then reconstructs the filename with the proper extension. The code relies on standard shell utilities (`basename`, `sed`, `cp`) and the macOS `open` command, with optional `open -a` for a chosen app. Debug output is written to `/tmp/mutt_attach/debug` when enabled.

🍎 macOS-Optimized `.tmux.conf`

This tmux configuration provides a stable, macOS-optimized terminal multiplexer setup with a clean, color-coded status bar. It includes Vim-style keybindings for pane navigation and copy mode, mouse support, and true color enabling via `terminal-overrides`. The status bar displays macOS system load data, parsed from the `sysctl -n vm.loadavg` command with `awk`, alongside the current time and hostname. The config also prepares for optional TPM plugin integration through `set -g @plugin` and the `run` command.

tmux shortcuts & cheatsheet

This example renders the tmux shortcuts and cheatsheet as a structured text document, presented in a monospaced format that mirrors a terminal interface. The visualization organizes commands into color-coded sections for sessions, windows, panes, resizing, and copy mode, using Markdown headings and code blocks from the source gist to delineate each category. It displays the full command syntax, including the `tmux` CLI calls and in-session prefix keybindings, while static HTML and CSS styling emphasize the hierarchical layout without any interactive elements. The content derives directly from the author’s cheat sheet, preserving its original typography and annotation style.

The best and greatest tmux.conf ever

This example visualizes a configuration file for tmux, the terminal multiplexer, as a demonstration of practical customization. The code shows a text-based interface configuration using tmux’s built-in command syntax, including key bindings, pane and window navigation, and status bar theming. It employs tmux’s `bind-key`, `set-option`, and `set-window-option` commands to define behavior, such as Vim-style pane selection and automatic window titles. The status bar uses tmux’s formatting syntax with color attributes and system commands, like `whoami` and `cut` on `/proc/loadavg`, to display session information. The rendering is purely textual, reflecting a terminal environment rather than graphical output.

mac set up

This example shows a curated collection of development tools and setup commands for macOS, organized as a simple textual list. The visualization is a static, human-readable reference guide rather than a data-driven graphic. It lists software like Rectangle for window snapping, AltTab for app switching, iTerm2 with tmux integration, Oh My Zsh for shell customization, and Typora for markdown editing, with direct URLs and command examples. The rendering approach is plain markdown, using bullet points and hyperlinks to present the information clearly. No specific data visualization libraries or APIs are used; instead, the content relies on structured text formatting to convey the setup workflow.

Tmux

This example shows a Tmux terminal multiplexer configuration that customizes the status bar and interface colors. The code sets a default terminal type, enables true-color support, and updates the status bar every second. It styles the left side with the session name, window index, and pane number, and the right side with the hostname and a 24-hour clock. The status bar uses ANSI color names and format specifiers like `#S`, `#I`, and `#P`, with no external libraries or data sources—it is a plain-text configuration file.

appify — create the simplest possible Mac app from a shell script

This example creates a minimal Mac app from a shell script. It shows how a user-provided script (my-script.sh) is packaged into an .app bundle with a generic icon and plist configuration. The implementation uses Bash and macOS command-line tools like `mkdir`, `cp`, and `cat` to construct the app’s directory structure and write the Info.plist file. It relies on the system’s GenericApplicationIcon.icns for the icon and outputs the resulting app tree for inspection.

tmux shortcuts & cheatsheet

This example presents a text-based cheat sheet for the tmux terminal multiplexer, drawn from a plain-text Markdown file by RodrigoGonzalez. It catalogs commands for session and window management, pane splitting, resizing, and synchronized panes, alongside a detailed comparison of vi and emacs key bindings for copy mode. The visualization is a straightforward rendering of the hierarchical command reference, using the Markdown structure to organize sections and code blocks to highlight exact terminal inputs.
