zsh on MacOS saves your terminal history to ~/.zsh_history
If you entered a command that you don’t want to remain in your history, edit the file and delete the lines you don’t want to remain in your history, then save. Exist terminal and reopen.
Displaying current git branch in MacOS zsh prompt
Previous script for setting git branch in bash shell is here.
For zsh, here’s an approach from this gist – add to your ~/.zshrc:
function parse_git_branch() {
git branch 2> /dev/null | sed -n -e 's/^\* \(.*\)/[\1]/p'
}
COLOR_DEF=$'\e[0m'
COLOR_USR=$'\e[38;5;243m'
COLOR_DIR=$'\e[38;5;197m'
COLOR_GIT=$'\e[38;5;39m'
setopt PROMPT_SUBST
export PROMPT='${COLOR_USR}%n ${COLOR_DIR}%~ ${COLOR_GIT}$(parse_git_branch)${COLOR_DEF} $ '
“zsh: No match found” error
zsh attempts to expand any potential filename wildcard characters (such as ‘*’ and ‘?’) used in a command before executing it. This can lead to the confusing error “zsh: No match found” error. What makes this confusing is if you’re trying to execute a grep or something where you are trying to find or match something, since the error implies your search is not working, whereas the error is about the patterns zsh is attempting to expand in the command string, and not from executing the command itself.
Depending on what you’re trying to do, the easiest workaround is to wrap parameters in quotes or escape characters like ‘*’ and ‘?’.
e.g. for curl, wrap urls in quotes.
