Today, I finally decided to take care of my knife.. knife help was taking 30seconds..

I use zsh, with the beautiful agnoster style! Here is my zsh file.

This is how I improved the speed of knife

After reading that thread, I decided to give it a try :

1
2

gem list | grep knife-
gem uninstall knife-unused_plugin

1
2

#At your own risk, I add to reinstall some gem, but it was a lot faster afterward!
gem clean

\o/, it’s a lot better (3s), but still not satisfied… If you have some hints? On top of that, my terminal was taking some seconds to load.. Annoyed…

Make faster the terminal loading

rbenv was taking a bit of time, I tried this

1
2

#in zsh config file
eval "$(rbenv init - --no-rehash)"

I still had this anoying message “you have new mails”, actually, I noticed, that I had an used crontab throwing errors there. And a mail per day since some month…

1
2
3

cat /dev/null > /var/mail/pierreozoux
#remove the unused crontab
crontab -e

Great, my terminal is loading really fast again, I will be able to relax now :)

As always, feel free to comment/insult/troll!
