#!/bin/zsh

# Open new iTerm window from the command line using v3 syntax for applescript as needed in iTerm2 Version 3+
# This script blocks until the cmd is executed in the new iTerm2 window. It then leaves the window open.
# TODO Add option to close iTerm2 after cmd execs
# See also https://www.iterm2.com/documentation-scripting.html

# Usage:
# iterm Opens the current directory in a new iTerm window
# iterm [PATH] Open PATH in a new iTerm window
# iterm [CMD] Open a new iTerm window and execute CMD
# iterm [PATH] [CMD] ... You can prob'ly guess
