iterm setup for changing your background in a particular place

gistfile1.txt

The basics of iterm profile switching are here: https://www.iterm2.com/documentation-automatic-profile-switching.html

I used this config for ssh-based profile switching: https://www.evernote.com/l/AA9QPrDKFGFGRI_QrTfVcAwOQsTAmrxz8PEB/image.png

I did this in .bashrc/.zshrc to handle kubectl switches. This might be a little iffy depending on your actual config and how you manage it.


function iterm2_print_user_vars() {
  export kube_context=$(kubectl config current-context 2>/dev/null)
  iterm2_set_user_var kube_context $kube_context
  if [ "$kube_context" = "drud-prod" ] ; then
           echo -n "^[]1337;SetProfile=drud-prod^G"
  else
           echo -n "^[]1337;SetProfile=Default^G"
  fi
}


Then you need to configure the profile for drud-prod - use background or colors to manage it.
