$ tabset --list

add favor color to a file (`~/.marslo/.colors`)

$ echo "<color-name>" >> ~/.marslo/.colors

get color hex (for it2setcolor)

[!TIP] download original csscolor.js if necessory:
$ curl -fsSL -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jonathaneunice/iterm2-tab-set/master/csscolors.js

$ while read -r i; do

>   hexc=$(for c in $(echo ${rgb} | sed -re 's:,::g'); do printf '%x' $c; done)
>   echo -e """$i :\t$rgb :\t$hexc"""
>   echo "$hexc" >> ~/.marslo/.it2color

When you open a file from the finder in iTerm2 (e.g., by double-clicking a shell script), it will either open in a window or a tab. By default, it opens in a tab. You can change this with:
```
$ defaults write com.googlecode.iterm2 OpenFileInNewWindows -bool true

iTerm2 Python REPL

Welcome to the iTerm2 Python REPL!

This is an interactive Python interpreter where you can experiment with
scripts. Unlike standard Python interpreters, you can use "await" not inside an
async function. Here's an example script to try:

import iterm2
connection=await iterm2.Connection.async_create()
await iterm2.Window.async_create(connection)
