Quick Start PHP Dev MacOS

quickruniterm2.md

This is a tutorial how to create a command that runs/start any app with arguments with iTerm2 on MacOS In my case, i made a local php development server for quick start for working.

• Install iTerm2 + Py Runtime Enabled
• Make alias on your zsh/bash -> alias ss1='php -S localhost:8001 -t public'
• Create new .py script on iTerm2 Script Folder (/Users/YourUser/Library/Application Support/iTerm2/Scripts) (e.g: Launch Service #1)
• Create your desired script, in my case looks like below script:

import iterm2
async def main(connection):
    app = await iterm2.async_get_app(connection)
    window = app.current_terminal_window
    if window is not None:
        await window.async_create_tab()
        session = app.current_terminal_window.current_tab.current_session
        await session.async_send_text('cd\n')
        await session.async_send_text('cd MyCompanyName/MyProjectName/MyWorkingServiceName\n')
        await session.async_send_text('ss1\n') #YourAlias called here
    else:
        print("No current window")
iterm2.run_until_complete(main)

• After saved, try to launch with Shift + ⌘ + O
• Select your script filename to run
