ZSH iterm2 increase number of lines history

It’s not immediately obvious in the iTerm2 documentation on how to change it.

  • open the iTerm2 preferences + ,
  • select the Profiles tab
  • then select the Terminal subtab
  • Beware, changes to the Scrollback lines value take effect immediately so check Unlimited scrollback now if you don’t want to delete your current buffer(s)
  • change the value of the Scrollback Lines to whatever you’d like
  • Uncheck the Unlimited scrollback option if you’d like to use your Scrollback lines value
