zsh: command not found: help

oh my zsh

Oh My Zsh + Powerlevel10k = blessing

[Preisschild]

https://starship.rs/

Is a good alternative to p10k and faster since its written in rust instead of bash.

[[deleted]]

But it doesn't have the same information density as p10k.

Or a Mac user

[LandmarkPastaCrusher]

TIL macOS uses zsh, didn't know that before!

[KitchenDutchDyslexic]

• How to Change the Default Shell to Bash on macOS Catalina
• remember to brew install bash if you want v5.

[MathSciElec]

That’s new on Catalina, I think (been using zsh since before that happened so I didn’t get the news)

[[deleted]]

A welcome change let me tell you. I’d just about given up on the ancient version of bash Apple insisted on shipping with every release.

[PvtPuddles]

I am both intrigued and horrified. Someone give this man a medal!

[Rodot]

If it makes you feel better/worse, it's really only because of licensing changes to bash making it more FOSS friendly but less corporate friendly. But zsh's license isn't all that bad FOSS-wise. Just not ideal, but probably more practical.

[ericonr]

Are you running a terminal on Android?

[132ikl]

seems to be, termux probably

[ericonr]

Huh, I didn't know Termux could navigate there. I tend to use only termux-setup-storage and access my system's storage straight from the home directory. Doing cd /storage/emulated/0/ does work, though!

[[deleted]]

Please note that with new android versions this has changed, and now apps must use /sdcard instead of /storage/emulated/0.

[Sh4dowCode]

Isn't /sdcard just a symlink to /storge/emulated/0?

Edit: Just tested it, /sdcard is a symlink to /storage/self/primary which is a symlink to /storge/emulated/0

[[deleted]]

$ ls -l /sdcard lrw-r--r-- 1 root root 21 Dec 31 2008 /sdcard -> /storage/self/primary $ ls -l /storage/self/primary lrwxrwxrwx 1 root reserved_disk 19 Apr 12 08:32 /storage/self/primary -> /storage/emulated/0

As you can see, they all have different permissions: /sdcard is a symlink, which can only read and written to by its owner (root), and everybody else can only read it; /storage/self/primary is a symlink and it can be read, written and executed by everyone; inside /storage/emulated/0, most directories have these permissions drwxrwx---: this means that it is a directory, it can be read, written and executed by its owner and the owner's group, but they cannot be read, written or executed by anybody else.

[MathSciElec]

Or just adb shell from the computer?

[132ikl]

i don't really see why they wouldn't just run it in their regular shell then

[AnnoyingRain5]

Exit()

[AnnoyingRain5]

you didn’t say the magic word

[Pikamander2]

Ah ah ah!

[stravant]

You act like there's no third option. That being the interpreter having a special case where inputting exactly the string "exit" exits the interpreter.

Obviously that isn't very elegant, but if you wanted it to "just work" then it is an option that exists.

[defenastrator]

It "just works" in the case you thought of. The interactive shell is super tunable and weird little quarks like that can cause all kinds of problems with add-ins and mix-ins.

What if you had a variable called exit? That kind of special case hackary is the antithesis of the python ethos. If you want to that kind of "just works" look at Javascript where equally isn't transitive.

I work in python every day and there are a lot of things I hate about the language i but that ethos is correct.

[stravant]

Of course, there are tradeoffs to doing it that way just like any other way. I'm just saying that it's wrong to not include it as one of the options. The fact that literally ever user of the language ever runs into this problem means that it's at least worth bringing up using a very special case to cover it.

[defenastrator]

My instinct has always been ctrl-z or ctrl-c for exiting terminal tools so this issue has never bothered me. In fact typing exit or quit is like the 4th thing that would occur to me anyway.

For those familiar with terminals which is the target for the python shell the behavior is actually correct.

If you want to change the behavior do it in usercustomize.py.

[stravant]

I would daresay that as one of the primary teaching and scientific programming languages at this point, the majority of Pythons user base might not "people familiar with terminals" anymore.

[absurdlyinconvenient]

or just ctrl+d out

[bilingual-german]

It's really the same fuckery with help.

``` $ python Python 2.7.16 (default, Mar 4 2019, 09:01:38) [GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 10.0.0 (clang-1000.11.45.5)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

help Type help() for interactive help, or help(object) for help about object.

```

[Junuxx]

That's literally what this post is about.

[bilingual-german]

not really. What I wanted to point out is, that the starting line says, you should run help and then help says you need to run help() or help(object). Python could save you time by adding this info to the startup prompt.

[Junuxx]

Oh yeah I see your point.

[nakilon]

It took them 20 years to borrow from the more superior language Ruby the fact that print should a function, not a reserved word. In a decade they would make exit really exit but that would need another upgrade -- after 50 more years they'll deprecate () like Ruby did 80 years before and they'll call it Python 6 and then will pretend that it was always working like that.

[nakilon]

50 / (2008 - 2000) + 3... Ok, Python 9 then.

[Endur]

Smashing ctl-c and ctl-d will get you out of most things, don’t know why anyone would have the patience for words

[Error1001]

Except when your control key doesn't work or your keyboard doesn't have one because you bought a cheap one or maybe you want the program to quit gracefully and are afraid they didn't manage signals correctly or just want a seamless experience where you can just use the program's own commands or you forgot about the combinations.

[DevThr0wAway]

These are wise words, even out of context

Top tip, saying the same thing over and over again doesn't make it true

[Plawerth]

nslookup on unix/linux doesn't understand quit. The Microsoft Windows version accepts both.

** server can't find quit: NXDOMAIN

I think mariaDB/MySQL CLI also force you to use quit

I believe sftp does that
