Exit and quit terminal with a single command

      
        export TERMINAL=<TERMINAL>
      
        alias quit='/usr/bin/osascript -e "tell application \"$TERMINAL\" to quit"; exit'

Option	Description
TERMINAL	An environment variable with the name of the terminal you prefer (I export this in .bash_exports)

      
        # This will exit the terminal process and then close the terminal window (no more ⌘ + Q)
      
        $ quit
