Anything is better than macOSâ default terminal. The white background and the way-too-small font are not a good fit for anyone. But hey! at least itâs Windowsâ terminal, am I right?
Mine looks like this.
Itâs pretty basic but itâs got what I need:
- itâs easy to read
- it tells me in which git branch I am
- it has got emojis đ
Hereâs what you need to know to setup yours:
- Install iTerm2
- Install oh-my-zsh
- Install bullet-train theme
- On iTerm2 preferences, under Profile -> Terminal, disable âShow mark indicatorsâ.
- Use a custom palette, hereâs mine.
- Get a font, mine is 13pt Droid Sans Mono Dotted for Powerline.
- Customize oh-my-zsh theme by tweaking
~/.zshrc. Here are some lines you might find relevant:
ZSH_THEME="bullet-train"
BULLETTRAIN_PROMPT_ORDER=(
dir
git
)
BULLETTRAIN_DIR_EXTENDED="0"
BULLETTRAIN_GIT_CLEAN=" đđœ "
BULLETTRAIN_GIT_DIRTY=" đ© "
BULLETTRAIN_GIT_UNTRACKED="%F{red} â
%F{black}"
