Thanks for watching, everyone! It has been a while since I've done one of these. Hope you enjoy. 😉

[@techivax3622]

I hope you have a dynamic ip - its visible @ 6:25 - in case you didn't notice!

[@snazzy]

@@techivax3622 It is. No worries. Thanks for the heads up.

[@andljoy]

Awsome , oh and you should take a look at chocolatey on windows , its an amazing package manager ! Level1 did a video on it.

[@BastianInukChristensen]

Snazzy Labs you should look into man pages! It's like -h but more in depth

[@TranTek]

This is awesome thanks Can you show the syntax for restart services like network without having reboot ?

[@eeshaanpp]

1st rule of youtube-dl: don't talk about youtube-dl

[@UnderEu]

Should we talk about the Fight Club, instead?

[@veemyu]

Bulk Downloading is really fun it’s just boom boom boom downloading cover boom boom pop it in iTunes and Bam on my iPod

[@FeelsDonkMan]

why do you need to download youtube videos?

[@JDW-]

​@@FeelsDonkMan I've seen a lot of YT videos that show brief clips of other KZbin videos. You obviously would need to download those videos to insert them into your editor to nicely cut out the clip you want to insert into your video. Not sure what the legalities of this are, but I see it done all the time.

[@Tio-Nino]

Irssi best tool for irc chat in terminal.

[@_nate_young_6264]

You never cease to amaze me with these type of videos. Cask is blowing my mind! I'm using it to re-install several applications just so I can use "brew cask upgrade". That command is a dream come true!

[@mitchelvalentino1569]

Always great to see content about the command line! Cheers!

[@Turtle_Shell]

More tips! Every time you upload one of these, I always learn something new! Thanks again Quinn!

[@snazzy]

Thank YOU!

[@janziprapra]

Man this is crazy good! I'm learning so much from your videos and you made my Mac OS experience even better. Thank you and keep up the good work!

[@SpicyMcMeatballs]

Thank you so much for this. I really enjoy your content, and as a young IT professional getting into the world of Apple hardware/software, videos like these are always helpful.

[@estivee]

For someone just starting out with programming this was a great start a couple of years ago to get familiar with the Terminal! Thank you Quinn!

[@michaellopez112]

What would you suggest for someone also just starting programming

[@TheRecraftMan]

ive been working in customer support with mac products for around 2 months now and honestly, i never had to use the terminal much. now that my own private macbook that i ordered is going to arrive today and i am so exited to try out these things. Thank you for the video!

[@mohamedezawi6815]

I cannot begin to describe how much I enjoy your videos! No tech reviewer does it like you. Period. Please keep it up; we really appreciate it, although we don’t always express it. THANK YOU QUINN! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

[@WarriorsPhoto]

Your Terminal videos are very useful and powerful, Quinn. Definitely interested in using these terminal commands. Thank you.

[@camilojarquin3014]

Dude, you are awesome! I just bought a MacBook Pro and I am using your videos to learn about Mac.. Thank you very much!

[@seanc.5310]

Wow I didn't think I'd see a bash for loop on snazzy labs today! I absolutely love that you exposing people to some of that sweet sweet bash CLI nectar! Please do more like this 👍

[@pieterbikkel]

Amazing tricks, you should upload more of these terminal videos!! Keep up the great work.

[@pinkdiscomosh2766]

I’m a software engineer and I use homebrew on every Mac I touch. The htop tool wasn’t something I was aware of though so I learned something from this video. The image magic tricks were pretty slick. If you learn just a little bit about bash scripting and executable files, you can write a script that runs all of those commands for you in sequence. It would make for a pretty awesome automated work flow. Thanks for the video. These ones are by far my favs from you.

[@AnnDroidGirl]

This is great information. I've been using Homebrew for a few years on my Macs, but haven't done a lot with it. I will now be using it a lot more. Thanks for the video!

[@alanaktion]

Along with imagemagick's "convert", the "mogrify" tool is amazing for doing batch conversions. For example, convert all JPG images to PNG: mogrify -format png *.jpg

[@nilsirl]

You can also do image editing. If you want to know how check out "Luke Smith" on KZbin

[@thetechnerd1617]

automator is better for this

[@cviddy]

Love that in 2019 stock terminal actually looks decent. iTerm was always my go to.

[@nassav3]

Its also highly costomizable, in terminal settings and .bash-profile.

[@marsrocket]

The stock terminal has been good for a long time. It’s highly customizable, and you can save your profile and move it to other Macs.

[@blacksanta9359]

I live for these videos! Best KZbinr by far 👍🏾

[@user-fj1kq9kj2i]

Tips are great and the keyboard typing sound is super comfortable!

[@danymalsound]

Insanely cool! KZbin DL was particularly awesome. Cheers!

[@fvgoya]

Homebrew is really awesome. I created a .bh with all apps that I need to install in case I format my Mac. One command and I have back almost all apps that I use. Plus, other settings that I need. Try to do more videos like this one. Command line is really amazing way to handle our Mac.

[@vkoskiv]

I use terminal a lot every day, and you showed me something new. Thanks!

[@MrJohn2475]

This is exactly the kind of videos I want to watch related to macOS tricks! Part 2 please with more useful tools in "brew".

[@mhaustria]

I like these videos a lot! Thanks for posting them! What is your preferred way to copy a large number of files from your mac to your NAS frequently? Is there a good command line tool beside rsync?

[@JoPinlix]

I am pretty new to MacOS but thanks to you I learnt a lot. Keep up the good work. Cheers!

[@SIKOLOBULU-gr2oh]

Awsome ! I am frequent Terminal user, but still learning everyday, and Keep up the good work. Thanks dude. From Ebolowa, Cameroon.

[@WuschelofDespair]

Okay in your other videos I always learned sooo much. As a developer who used Linux for 3 years and Mac OS for 4 I didn't learn anything new here, but that's okay, the video was great anyways. Love it that you show stuff like this :) One thing maybe, when you typed in field.jpeg you could've told us about tab autocompletion :) except for that I really liked it

[@Utkarsh_A]

Shift + Command + U for the Utilities folder, there are some cool thing in there to mess about with as well

[@andrewtfluck]

2:44 - "will pop uu-uup" Nice way to introduce Mac people to the command line world and developer tools!

[@Ebbzzor]

Using homebrew casks after an OS installation is so fantastic. Just make a huge list of all your preferred apps and separate them with a space and you can download & install multiple apps at the same time easily.

[@jeng....29]

YOU are a life saver ! I just cant thank you enough although not this video because commenrs are not allowed on that particular video regarding resetting the password. I have watched and followed lots of videos here but to no avail and when I was about to give up, I stumbled on your video and followed all your instruction and I did it . God bless .

[@MayiPasu]

Great video, Quinn! Keep up the good work!

[@tylerthompson383]

“The power of UNIX married with the simplicity of Macintosh.” I think Steve Jobs said that officially at some of the keynotes. I like how that rolls off the tongue. Cool video by the way, Homebrew is pretty cool

[@sanjitselvan5348]

Man! Found so much value in this short video. Thanks!

[@morpheus8891]

I fell in love with this video, thanks a hundred times.

[@juan1322]

This is getting fancier, pretty nice!

[@TravelPineapple]

I would love more videos like this! Keep up the great work.

[@goodthings1231]

Thx thx thx! Pls, do more videos like this! :)

[@trieutruong2410]

Great video! I hoped you will upload more video like this, I learnt lots of thing from those. Thank you so much.

[@morchellemusic2829]

Hello mate, good stuff. Does homebrew leave any temp files around while installing apps ? And also if I want to uninstall homebrew, it will delete all file created when installed or will leave stuff behind ? Thanks for your time

[@Oystersatemywife]

I think this is also very good to learn as a beginner developer. get used to typing in commands, and reading the command lists. Since this is something you'll do a lot with programming. Pretty fun actually. You can do a lot of fun tricks and get the most out of your mac. I wish I had a macbook again. my 2010 just recently died about 5 months ago. :(

[@Brett_is_Veng]

really helpful stuff that you would have no idea about without a guide. Lots more of these vids please

[@abdenn]

Great video! Thank you for sharing these powerful tools

[@onecarwood]

These are awesome. Convert will help me a ton. The Snazz strikes again!

[@pastorLucc]

This is a gold mine! You ARE the man!

[@swapnil867]

Hey Quinn, I’ve always looked to your MacOS tips. But trust me, this was a really helpful one. Some malware of sort hogged 100% cpu usage on mine. But, htop showed me where it was from and i got rid of that much easily. Now, Mac’s all fine and running. Thanks and Cheers! 🙌🏼

[@snazzy]

Woah. Excellent! Cheers.

[@MustaqimAdha]

Hey, you're my new favourite KZbinr! I love all your contents, keep creating contents like these.

[@jasonattal4465]

I finally use it and it's working really great ! Thank you really much !

[@SergioAvila]

Great video and tips... (wonder how I haven't seen it before), please keep doing more homebrew/terminal tips and tricks, thanks!

[@4bbiss]

Love these videos, keep doing em!

[@eav87osteo]

Very useful. There is so much in OS X hidden from general user. Thank you!

[@MSFTSTRIO]

Alexander Egorov because users would break the computer

[@pesfreak18]

These are things I will never use but I watch it anyway. Great content.

[@joshsmith4998]

These are pretty slick! I'm an ITPro albeit most of my experience is with Windows-based OS' and my company just recently had us deploy a MacBook to a user so it kind of had me thinking about some of the useful tools available for mac os.

[@anasalhariri5474]

Thanks man! Your tips are amazing!

[@Digital_Chef]

One of the very few channels that actually teaches me new mac tricks :) Thanks!

[@snazzy]

Cheers!!

[@3vmonkey132]

complete eye opener for me, thank you, great info

[@bossaddict08]

I like how your videos are actually beneficial and contain worthwhile tips and lessons.

[@adamhicks9774]

Yea I agree 100 percent with boss here

[@michelebrotto]

Super useful, love your videos! Thanks for sharing.

[@dj_m]

Thank you! Also, over on pastebin the xcode install line reads xcode-select -install. I believe you need a double dash/hyphen before the install option.

[@learningbird9940]

Finally some terminal commands with Snazzy.

[@xtreamchance]

Q-Mansnaz, this was pog! Thanks for introducing us to this amazing stuff.

[@altanava]

Great video! I’d love more of these, thanks!

[@swapkilulu]

Thanks so much for this. Can you download adobe apps? Or just the ones in your application store?

[@charles71629]

So NICEEEEEE!!!! I love ur vids, they are so clear.

[@propaghandi]

Great video! I love the sound of your typing (mechanical...)

[@thewindowgames2610]

This was very helpful, thank you!

[@midwestguy8771]

I love this series Quinn you did an excellent job

[@snazzy]

Cheers!

[@GPPhotography1]

Thanks for sharing - quite some nice features in there. I tried the speedtest-cli and do get much slower ping, download and upload times on my Mac compared to using the browser based test. Any idea why?

[@chazthompson7967]

Brand new subscriber and full commercial watcher here! I would love some coverage of terminal commands for keychain. Seems like it needs tweaks to create modern secure passwords that: - have one capitol letter - have a number -have a lower case letter - have a special character - have n numper of characters I’ve slowly adopted keychain and I’m not really up for letting go of it for a different pw manager.

[@Alfonsogoliardo]

This is so amazing, THANK YOU

[@jonminer9891]

Thanks so much for sharing. I am going to do this and I am sure it will be very useful.

[@salvatorefanara482]

Thank you snazzy. excellent vid!

[@TheJamesJingYi]

Always love these!

[@york824]

I used brew to install Syncthing, ntfs-3g and wget. All are very essential apps to me.

[@mariemeyer2885]

Great info, very helpful. I haven't tried this yet but does cast contain a utility that will search out duplicate files?

[@IamOmkarD]

Thank you sooo much !! Very helpful

[@mattdahlberg1929]

This is awesome Quinn, Thanks!

[@asifmahmudakash7480]

Thanks for all those command lines. Those are unbelievably powerful and useful. Can you share something about professional apps excluding video editing software.

[@propergander8509]

Thanks Snazzy, very snazzy!

[@mbadiou]

What an excellent tutorial, thank you

[@paulcristo]

Please do more of these command line videos! Thanks.

[@duminicad]

quick tips if you're typing a command and you want to quickly clear what you typed CTRL-U you can 'clear' the terminal via CTRL-L your terminal can auto complete file names and utility names via TAB if you type "da" and then TAB you'll see several options, one of which is "date" most programs have manuals, you can get very good help by typing "man UTILITY" example "man date" some manual pages might show "utility(3)" type "man 3 utility"

[@mnzel1]

enjoyed the video knowing the utilities already :)

[@jeremiahkumah1091]

Very Helpful! Thanks Man.

[@duckd50]

Thanks, and very useful. Is there a way to edit EXIF information? For example scanned slides list the scanner, not the camera. A second case would be using a vintage lens on a modern body. Any suggestions?

[@ShujaRashid]

Really helpful, awesome verbiage and informative..

[@suppotdekimjong-un5615]

I came from Linux distribution (and Windows) and for managing my files, I use frequently Terminal.

[@SSteelification]

Brew reminds me of the package managers used by various linux distrobutions and thats not a bad thing.

[@piwypd0]

awesome video man , as a no coder guy trying to get into brew npm and stuff this was helpful... ohh and another thing... be thankful of you internet speeeds my sweet summer child

[@LaloRacer1]

WOW!

[@Unlockyou.]

his favorite work= POWERFUL thanks for the vid though helped a lot

[@Klarkooi]

Awesome sharing. Do you mind making a short video to share tool which can run in the background shell to troubleshoot which app or service draining the battery? Apple has no capabilities to do such simple function. Hope to get comprehensive view of the battery consumption report. Thanks.

[@sharkcraft384]

Your computer: "takes a couple of seconds to download cask" My computer: "Takes a couple of days to download cask" (Btw excellent video)

[@irissupercoolsy]

haha i was looking for this comment 😂😂 it's also true in my case. But I think it's because of my bad internet, not my computer

[@johntamplin]

Yeah, and I'm still stinging from 6:27 "... my office internet is pretty slow [at 57Mbit/s download] ..." We waited more than 4 years to get our internet upgraded to the magnificent 48Mbit/s. Still in the honeymoon period of enjoying the improvement from 12Mbit/s (on a good day).

[@muhammadhamadan9951]

Yeah, it has been going for a long while just when I think it is done it goes on again

[@TheBigdutchster]

i'd like to see more videos like this. Note that I have a Sppedtest app for my Macs and I believe that I got it from the app store. I use it frequently.

[@brpawankumariyengar4227]

Awesome Video ......Moist Useful ..... Thank you very much for posting ...... 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@richardson2287]

thanks my man!! i just got a Macbook pro and i am a linux user and i mis install from my terminal so much... is like have my thing again THANKS!!!

[@andljoy]

grep , echo and pipe ..... THE best command line utilities :)

[@mitchelvalentino1569]

Andrew Joy true!!

[@AdiCherryson]

What do you use the echo for that often?

[@seanc.5310]

listerreg if you write bash or tc shell scripts echo is used constantly or if you want to know what value is stored in a variable on the command line. there are countless uses...

[@TobiasSN]

Andrew Joy fortune | cowsay | lolcat

[@naveenbattula]

No awk is the best

[@braxtonthompson]

I love these videos! You’ve pushed me to learn more about terminal. It’s so great. I’ve recently downloaded iTerm 2 which is a little bit cooler IMO.

[@aserillll]

[@doreent4081]

This was helpful. Thank you
