Hi,

Is there an easy way to migrate the entire configuration of iterm2 to a new Mac?

I have spent a while refining my config so iterm2 does exactly what i want but I am wondering with a new machine being due in a few months how i migrate to the new machine without losing the changes i have made.

I realise i can export my profiles but there are always other things that get missed in migrations like this such as my snippets and other ui preferences.

It would be nice to have the option to export / import  all the relevant configuration files from iterm2 but failing that could you share the list of files i would need to backup to achieve this manually?

Kind regards

Wayne

Use Settings > General > Settings > Export All Settings and Data, copy the file over, and then use Import All Settings and Data. That will be sure to get every last thing.
