TTT 41 of n — Protecting Your Secrets
<p>We're back after a (planned) lengthy hiatus! In this instalment, Bart teaches us how to protect our secrets while working in the Terminal. Secrets can include passwords, API keys, and any other sensitive information you'd like to protect. Without the tools Bart teaches us, any secrets you type into the Terminal will be in your history file in plain text, and with AI, possibly hoovered up as training data.</p> <p>You'll hear me say the last episode was in 2022, but it was actually 2020. </p> <p>You can find Bart's tutorial shownotes over at <a href="http://ttt.bartificer.net/book.html#ttt41" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ttt.bartificer.net/...</a></p> <p>You can download the free Taming the Terminal book at <a href="https://podfeet.com/tttbook">podfeet.com/tttbook</a>. All of the versions are up to date with the new chapter, except Apple Books. As of 18 December 2025, the one in Apple Books is "in review" with the new chapter. Hopefully, by the time you look for it, they will have deemed that chapter worthy of inclusion. I just noticed that it's available in Apple Books in 51 countries! The book has 4.9 stars with 30 reviews!</p>

TTT 40 of n – Automating TMUX
<p>In this episode of Taming the Terminal, Bart winds up our series within a series all about the Terminal command TMUX. In this final piece he teaches us first how to string commands together to create the TMUX sessions we want with the screens split and the processes running in each pane as we like them. After teaching us how to string them together he shows us how to make a little script file we can run so that we can automatically open up our TMUX sessions exactly the way we like them.</p> <p>This will be the last of our Taming the Terminal episodes for a while, but we'll be back after macOS Big Sur ships and is stabilized. In macOS Catalina the default shell was changed from bash to zsh and it does bring some changes to things we learned earlier in the series but it seems prudent to wait till we're over this big hump getting into Big Sur.</p> <p>You can find Bart's tutorial shownotes over at <a href="http://ttt.bartificer.net/book.html#ttt40" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ttt.bartificer.net/...</a></p> <p>Don't forget, you can download the Taming the Terminal book at <a href="https://podfeet.com/tttbook">podfeet.com/tttbook</a>. The book will be updated with this instalment shortly.</p>

TTT 39 of n – Advanced TMUX
<p>This week's episode of Chit Chat Across the Pond was another installment of Taming the Terminal. Two weeks ago Bart taught us the basics of a technology called `tmux`, or terminal multiplexer that allows you to access the same server in many different ways at the same time. He covered how `tmux` replaces the deprecated `screen` but he didn't go much further. In this rather light and easy-to-follow installment, he takes `tmux` up a notch and shows us how to create multiple windows, and multiple panes all within a single `tmux` session. Like I said it was super easy to understand, very visual and fun!</p> <p>You can listen to this week's installment by searching for Taming the Terminal in your podcatcher of choice or it's included in the full Chit Chat Across the Pond show as well. And as always you can get to Bart's fabulous tutorial shownotes at <a href="https://www.bartbusschots.ie/s/2020/07/26/ttt-part-39-of-n-advanced-tmux/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bartbusschots.ie/...</a></p>
