Hi,
In my terminal Iterm, I want to know more about a command in Linux I printed
man vim
But in Mac osx it doesn’t work?
man tail
sh: most: command not foundThat’s weird. What do you get from
echo $SHELL
and
echo $PATH
???
echo $SHELL
/bin/zsh
✝ echo $PATH
/Users/mbp/.npm-packages/bin:/Users/mbp/bin:/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.6.2/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/Cellar:/usr/local/bin:~/Library:/usr/local/lib:/Users/mbp/bash-wordpress:/Users/mbp/.npm/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/Users/mbp/arcanist/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/opt/X11/bin:/usr/local/git/bin:/usr/local/bin/composer
What about
which man
?
/usr/bin/man
I have /usr/bin: in my path
✝ /usr/bin l man
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 68K Jul 8 22:03 manSure enough. It’s strange that man isn’t working, then. I can read tail’s man page just fine. Did you set up any aliases in your .zshrc file?
/usr/bin man
What manual page do you want?
/usr/bin man grep
sh: most: command not found
/usr/bin
my .zshrc I didn’t alias man

zstyle ':completion:*' rehash trueShot in the dark - try the same command in Mac’s Terminal instead of iTerm.
I found the problem. In your .zshrc file, you define the default pager to be most
217 export PAGER=most
Delete that and it should work just fine.
that’s weird I didn’t remember to do that 
You save my day 
Thanks
I have question about a function I add:
function babel() {
gc https://github.com/xavierartot/Babel-Workflow-Free-Code-Camp $1 && cd $1 && npm install && grunt watch
}
that’s clone the repo “gc” with the alias but it’s never ask me to typing the variable $1?
In bash, function parameters are defined by their position, so you’d call
babel myNewProject
which would expand to
gc https://github.com/xavierartot/Babel-Workflow-Free-Code-Camp myNewProject && cd myNewProject && npm install && grunt watch
If you tried
babel myNewProject useless parameters are ignored
then the function would have 5 variables, $1, $2, $3, $4, and $5. Since you only use $1, the rest would be ignored.

I forgot this 
I read about it last year…
Thank again
Do you know how can have some color in Less?
Not off the top of my head, but that’s a good question. I’d have to Google it.
