set-bg generates a custom background image for iTerm2, setting it as the background. By default, it creates a letterpressed hostname alongside the Apple logo in the bottom right. It also creates an alias from ssh to sshb so that the hostname will change as you ssh to various servers.
ImageMagick is required. To install ImageMagick, install MacPorts here: http://www.macports.org/
Then run:
sudo port install imagemagick
To install the set-bg suite of scripts:
wget --no-check-certificate https://github.com/tricon/set-bg/raw/master/install.sh -O - | sh
The purple Apple shell theme featured in the screenshot can be found here.
- Robby Russell for the idea to create an
install.shscript that one can wget from the repository. - Unknown author that created the base script for setting a background image in iTerm2 that this script is based upon.
