Oh My Zsh Plugin for Setting iTerm2 Custom Tab Colors

Installation

cd ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins
git clone https://github.com/bernardop/iterm-tab-color-oh-my-zsh.git iterm-tab-color

Enable it by adding iterm-tab-color to your plugins array in $HOME/.zshrc

plugins=(git iterm-tab-color)

Usage

Explicitly using the command

After adding it to your plugins and restarting your current terminal you'll have a new alias available tc

Passing separate Red, Green, Blue values

tc 255 198 0

Passing a Hex value

tc '#0078ae`

- or -

tc 0078ae

Set tab color based on current working directory or current command

You can modify the .tc-config file located in ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins/iterm-tab-color and add directory=hexValue or command=hexValue pairs to automatically set the color of your tab to hexValue when your current working directory matches directory or the current executing command matches command (you can use regular expressions)

Example `.tc-config` file

/Users/me/projects/personal*=#065535
/Users/me/projects/work*=#3399ff
npm*=#CB3837
brew*=#BE862D

iterm-tab-color-oh-my-zsh's Issues

This suddenly stopped working with my iterm

Please let me know how to debug this because I used it a lot in doing ssh to different machines and I coded each ssh machine with new color.
tc color code is working but .tc-config in plugins folder is not.

Iterm version - Build 3.4.19

Config loading but not held in memory

At least on my machine, the configuration would not stay in memory unless I explicitly forced tcConfigColors and orderedConfig to be global by adding the -g option to declare.

My system:

zsh 5.9 (x86_64-apple-darwin22.0)
Oh My Zsh ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh@803e1a7
macOS 13.6.3 (22G436)

Here is my patch:

 while IFS="=" read -r configKey hexValue || [ -n "$hexValue" ]; do
   if ! ( [[ $configKey == \#* ]]); then
     orderedConfig+=( $configKey )

Thoughts? Do you want a PR with this?

changing .tc-config in git repo?

I'm a bit confused by the suggestion to change the .tc-config in the repo. Won't this constantly conflict with pulls?

Wouldn't it be more standard to put this in ~/.tc-config ?

Automatically set color based on some conditions

This project is actually a brilliant idea. 👍
However I think that it would be incredibly more useful, if we could automatically set tab colors based on different stuff that is happening within the tab.

The use case I'm thinking of, is when I have multiple tabs open, the colorization would make them easily scannable. Possible conditions:

Set color whenever the cwd is a specified directory. Eg. all my blue tabs are my open-source development tabs, while all my green tabs are my work related development.
Set color based on current running job - Eg. yarn test sets the color to white, yarn start is green, docker-compose up is red, etc.
Set color based on last command exit code - Eg. I ran a command that exited with an error, therefore set the tab to a red color.

(I noticed a similar discussion in your tweet, I just wanted to jot this down quickly). 🙂

Good job!
