terminalconfig

Personal terminal configuration dotfiles for Mac and Linux. Covers zsh, fish, bash, tmux, and Ghostty.

Setup 🧰 🛠️

Each tool has its own subdirectory with a setup script. Scripts must be run from their own subdirectory (symlinks use $(pwd)):

cd zsh && ./setup.sh       # installs oh-my-zsh + plugins, symlinks zshrc
cd fish && ./setup         # installs oh-my-fish + kawasaki theme, symlinks fish configs
cd tmux && ./setup         # installs tpm, symlinks tmux.conf
cd ghostty && ./setup.sh   # symlinks ghostty/config to ~/.config/ghostty/config

For bash, manually copy files to your home directory:

File	Destination
bash_profile	~/.bash_profile (Mac)
bashrc	~/.bashrc (Linux)

---

SHELLs

zsh %_

Uses Oh My Zsh with ZSH_THEME="" (no omz theme). The prompt is defined inline using PROMPT/RPROMPT variables with the git_super_status function from the git-prompt plugin.

Plugins: git, git-prompt, fzf, zsh-autosuggestions, zsh-syntax-highlighting

fish 🐠

Uses Oh My Fish with the kawasaki theme. Theme variables in fish/omf/init.fish override kawasaki defaults to match the zsh color scheme.

bash $_

256-color prompt configuration. Includes SSH host autocomplete and common aliases.

---

Prompt Color Scheme 🌈

Consistent palette across zsh and fish:

Element	Color	Hex
User	Blue	#087fff
Host	Teal	#1eb980
Separator (@)	Purple	#b15dff
Prompt character ($)	Hot pink	#ff3399

---

tmux

• Prefix remapped to C-a
• Pane splits: | (vertical) and - (horizontal), preserving current path
• Vi copy mode: v to select, y to yank
• Mouse: off by default, toggle with prefix + m
• Status bar: session name, username, hostname, time, date
• Plugin manager: tpm — after setup, activate plugins inside tmux with prefix + I

---

Ghostty 👻

• Minimal config — iTerm2 Tango Dark/Light themes, Noto Mono for Powerline 12pt, 85% opacity, bar cursor.
• Customized icon - https://github.com/jasonlong/ghostty-theme-icons

---

PATH

All shell configs (zshrc, bashrc, bash_profile) automatically add ~/.local/bin to $PATH if the directory exists and is not already included:

[[ -d "$HOME/.local/bin" && ":$PATH:" != *":$HOME/.local/bin:"* ]] && export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"

For fish, the equivalent is handled via fish_add_path in fish/omf/init.fish.

Color Diagnostics 🌈 👀

Scripts for testing terminal color support (no install needed):

./colors.sh        # 8-bit 256-color palette
./colors256.sh     # compact 256-color grid
./truecolors1.sh   # truecolor gradient test
python3 colors.py  # Python color output

Color references:

• 4-bit colors
• 8-bit xterm color names
• Bash colors and formatting
• iTerm2 color themes
