How to restore my iterm2/zsh session after restart?

7

3

I use oh-my-zsh with iTerm2 on osx and I'd like them to retain the same tabs with the same directories and hopefully the same textual history after a restart.

Currently after a restart iTerm reopens with the correct number of tabs and windows but all without the textual history and at ~.

This is the only app I have which is not restart proof...

Thanks in advance for any help

iTerm2 has no support for this. This ticket can be used to track the implementation: https://code.google.com/p/iterm2/issues/detail?id=2775

There's a duplicate on Ask Different. tl;dr: install the latest iTerm2 beta 2.9+, and make sure your Mac is set to not close windows when quitting an app. The new version of iTerm2 restores windows and working directories automagically!
