Set the title of your terminal
I’m the founder and CEO of Okteto, where we’re busy re-imagining the developer experience for cloud native applications.
Before Okteto, I built enterprise chat products at Atlassian, application lifecycle management tools at Elasticbox (now part of Centurylink) and cloud services at Microsoft Azure.
If you're anything like me, you always have multiple terminal tabs open at any given time. As soon as I have 5 or 6 tabs open, it becomes impossible to remember what I have running on each tab.
Here's a script that will allow you to update the title of a terminal tab and/or window:
# !/bin/bash
title=$1
echo -n -e "\033]0;$title\007"
Copy the script above into /usr/bin/title and give it executable permissions (chomod +x /usr/bin/title). After that, typing title My Title will update the title of your current terminal or tab to the value provided. It works with both ASCII and Unicode characters.
Hope it helps!
