A modern looking terminal⌗

an awesome terminal

This is how my terminal looks like at the moment. The layout uses starship to provide useful information about the shell at all times. For example, it shows the current python version if you are in a python environment, and the current branch if you are in a git repository. I made some minor modifications to the default layout, e.g. adding the time information to the right. I would still like to add a few more things, but I’m happy the way it is.

Here’s my starship config (~/.config/starship.toml):

"$schema" = 'https://starship.rs/config-schema.json'

Fish shell⌗

I’ve been using fish for almost a year now, and I really like it. I use it mostly for the auto-complete feature. It’s almost as smart as an AI copilot in your editor, but now in the terminal. (note: it’s a very simple frequency based autocomplete, no AI whatsoever)

Here’s my fish config (~/.config/fish/config.fish):

# Fish syntax highlighting
set -g fish_color_autosuggestion '555'  'brblack'
set -g fish_color_cancel -r
set -g fish_color_command --bold
set -g fish_color_comment red

set -g fish_color_cwd_root red
set -g fish_color_end brmagenta

set -g fish_color_escape 'bryellow'  '--bold'
set -g fish_color_history_current --bold
set -g fish_color_host normal
set -g fish_color_match --background=brblue
set -g fish_color_normal normal
set -g fish_color_operator bryellow
set -g fish_color_param cyan
set -g fish_color_quote yellow
