I'm here to answer questions anyone has about this. It's a newish feature so feedback is welcome, and bug reports are greatly appreciated. Also, credit goes to FinalTerm for the inspiration. RIP.

This looks really cool. One question - if I'm tunneling through one server to the next (required for me to access production servers) does the file upload/download still work?

Is iTerm keeping my history safe? Where is it saved, and how is it kept safe?

I'm concerned about the wget to an external server part. This file should be local to prevent excessive slowness and potential security issues. Also, is there a zsh version of this file? zsh is extremely popular on osx.

It would have been nice if the bash line contained a way to compare hashes to verify the script is untouched.(store the hash file on a 3rd party server like s3) Or pgp sign the script in some way.

Do you think your regular bash history is safe? Relevant: https://xkcd.com/1200/

I like the idea of these features, but the "run this random shellscript from the internet" part really bugs me. Could / will you integrate it another way when it comes out of the nightly releases?

At least it's being served over HTTPS :-)

I'd love to use a terminal with similar features on linux

Terminator comes close, but to be honest, iTerm2 still beats it with its user friendliness and features. It's really interesting how OS X is the one that has a terminal emulator with the most features out there. iTerm2 now comes with 24-bit colors, command completion popup, notifications, triggers, profiles, mouseless copy, split panes, search, and you can even have inline images/gifs all out of the box with zero or…

Actually that will be Windows with ConEmu. You can even run GUI apps inside the terminal with it.

I use iTerm2 a lot in the "visor" (pop up from the top) mode. I have my iTerm2 plist file edited so that it displays no bar icon and pops up even over the full screen apps. It would be really nice to have a feature where instead of a popup alert, the visor window would just slide out, to let me know that it's done. But all in all, sounds like an awesome set of features, will have to try tonight. Thanks! PS: On an unr…

It is until you look at the script it downloads, which downloads further scripts over HTTP.
