I tried shell integration for iterm2 and I didn’t like it.

I wasn’t sure how to remove it, so I looked into the install script.

I am currently using bash, so all they did was to add an entry into my ~/.bash_profile file and download a ~/.iterm2_shell_integration.bash file.

All I had to do, is remove the ~/.iterm2_shell_integration.bash file, and remove this line test -e "${HOME}/.iterm2_shell_integration.bash" && source "${HOME}/.iterm2_shell_integration.bash" from my ~/.bash_profile

If you are tech savvy enough to use other shells, you should be able to figure out from the script above what file to remove and which entry to remove from your shell config file.

  2. I just came across your post. Is there a benefit to installing shell integration for iTerm2? Aside from basically tracking commands, I’m not that sure what the benefit is?
