Notes
-
I generally use `tputs`` when I need to figure out the number of columns or lines/rows a terminal window has
-
This probably works on lots of linux machines too. ymmv are on windows
-
I'm not sure if `tputs`` is installed by default or if it got installed by homebrew. I don't remember installing it, but if you don't have it you may have to do that work
-
`bash`, `zsh`, and some other shells also set ENV vars that can be used to pull the numbers (link below)
