### Location

The Utilities Package places shell scripts in `$HOME/.iterm2/` and creates aliases to them at the bottom of `$HOME/.iterm2_shell_integration.$SHELL`.

**imgcat**

The **imgcat** program displays images inline in your terminal.`imgcat filename [filename...]`

#### imgls

Lists the files in a directory with thumbnail previews for images. `imgls [filename...]`

#### it2copy

Copies text to the pasteboard. Works over ssh. Accepts either standard input or a named file\
`cat file.txt | it2copy` \
`it2copy file.txt`\
For this to work you must enable Prefs > General > Applications in terminal may access clipboard.&#x20;

#### it2dl

The it2dl program downloads files. This is useful when you are ssh'ed to a remote host. The downloaded files are placed in your Downloads folder.&#x20;

#### it2getvar

Fetches a session variable. For information about variables, see Scripting Fundamentals.\
`it2getvar session.name`

#### it2setcolor

Configures iTerm2's colors.

**it2setkeylabel**

Configures touch bar function key labels.

**it2ul**

Uploads a file. Works over ssh.\
`it2ul [destination [tar flags]]`\
If used without arguments, the file goes to the current directory. When you run this, you'll be prompted to select one or more files. Next, iTerm2 creates a tar.gz file containing those files and base-64 encodes them. The it2ul script receives it, decodes it, and untars it with -xzfC. Any arguments you provide go after a lone - argument,

**it2universion**

Sets the unicode version for the current session.
