How to make your Linux or Mac terminal BEAUTIFUL

[@mahirabbas3700]

thanks nerd

[@mahirabbas3700]

im more of a dog person

[@mpete0273]

If you don't like warp, try fish shell. It has syntax highlights, completion hints, fuzzy-search, and vim mode, all out of the box. Fish shell also runs in any emulator, including alacritty and kitty.

[@lel7531]

Installing warp is a grave mistake and you need an account to even use it, not even talking about all of the telemetry collected by them

[@mohitkumar-jv2bx]

I totally second this. How can anyone who is intimate with their terminal, use one which is not open source. I can't trust that terminal at all.

[@stevedylandev]

Is warp still requiring sign in? Video gave the impression it didn’t which got me a bit excited. It’s the reason I haven’t used it so far :/

[@devchaudhary78]

Can't agree more, using a software which is not open source and is constantly monitoring every activity is a bit sussy, though starship is really amazing!

[@bladeboles9167]

Warp weirds me out a bit too. Feel nervous typing anything sensitive in there.

[@JavierHarford]

Apparently they got rid of telemetry but when kitty and wezterm exist then its a no from me, starship works with any of those to without an email sign in

[@typecraft_dev]

Like this comment if you want a dedicated tutorial on Starship and custom TOML setup!

[@VinitKhandagle]

There's not a good one!!! and with your style of teaching I am sure it will be good one :)

[@Kaka-zs4cp]

Oh this one would be awesome

[@RayBas]

If you like me wondering why the starship config isn't loading in Warp while it is working in iTerm. Edit the prompt you're using for Warp. Goto settings / appearance then change:Warp prompt (default) to PS1 Maybe it's in the vid but then I missed / skipped it :)

[@gsv9773]

thanks. Also config file needs to be created before applying preset

[@Samji3877]

thanks Ray! was 'bash'ing my head on the terminal for a while there

[@matheusalexandre3759]

Thanks nerd!

[@kevin_pardo]

Thank you I've been looking for this solution for an hour now!

[@ParanoidxProd]

I've been partial to Alacritty, Zellij and Sheldon for any ZSH plugins for my terminal setup. Warp seems nice but I like Alacritty's philosophy around being a terminal and nothing more. Zellij handles panes and tabs, Sheldon handles plugins like better coloring, autocomplete and vim mode. Agree that Starship is amazing!

[@blazestorm54]

if you have experience with both, how do you like zellij vs tmux?

[@gaji]

I had huge issues with zellij default keybinds for macOS for jumping next/previous word in alacritty. Just went tmux+alacritty instead.

[@hesam-init]

me to bro i think alacritty with zellij and zsh is a awsome match for any use case.

[@equu497]

I want to like zellij but the fact there's no real way to navigate between zellij/neovim like there is with tmux was what kept me away. Although, the built in multiplexer on westerm has been a great alternative

[@ParanoidxProd]

@@blazestorm54 I just happened to happened to like the default zellij keybindings better and found it easier to configure. I tried both briefly before going with zellij so I wouldn't say I'm the best judge of this.

[@NotcardNotLive]

as linux is about the foss movement, i dont think ill be using warp. i dont mind stuff like video editors or video games, but a terminal (and requiring an account) is absolutely crazy.

[@ShakaVegapunk]

That's unbelievable! I was in the middle of tweaking my shell when this video popped up in my recommendations, completely altering the direction I was planning to take with my shell setup. Thanks, nerd!

[@ischmitty]

Tip for the future @typecraft: be more upfront with your sponsored videos. You were way too subtle disclosing that you were doing a promotion for Warp, and unfortunately I'm going to have to unsubcribe. To everyone else watching, be careful with Warp. It's closed source, requires a login, and sends a ton of telemetry. For me the terminal is the last place i want a piece of software like that being how sensitive my work in there can be.

[@MichaelLazarski]

I would use Warp but I dont want to a terminal which forces me to logn with an account :(

[@level-zero999]

exactly

[@mentalmarvin]

No thanks. Warp is close sourced, requires an account to even use and has opt-in telemetry by default

[@dave3269]

I would love a full-fleshed theme manager that syncs with light-dark mode and you can set different pairs of themes for each tab or even set different pairs themes for each folder. Like each tab would have a dark/light theme set

[@iduran]

Prefer Alacritty>Kitty>Wezterm>iTerm>……>Warp. Warp doesn’t even work with fish, at least not for me in Mac. So will stick with my top 2 + Starship. Thanks for cool videos though.

[@jacovanzyl558]

This is like the 3rd video of yours that I see first thing in the morning, add to my setup, and be happy the rest of the day. Thanks nerd!

[@thebigvoro]

Grande Javier! Warp is great. I've been using it since the first release. But still use my iTerm2 for simplicity as well. In Warp you feel like in the code editor with all the tools and edit options, and it's great. But sometimes you want to only have your prompt, and that's it. Moreover, I am sure the Linux guys will be concerned about the Telemetry. But if you are not an advanced user, Warp has everything out of the box.

[@foxleewooisiang5519]

[@MohammedAmaan-p8m]

I have tried everything for some reason wrap is not reading the .zshrc if I open my regular terminal I can see the starship theme but for some reason wrap is just stuck on default.

[@Samji3877]

same, quite the headache

[@Samji3877]

found it! settings - appearance - under 'Prompt' click on the 'Current prompt' and choose the PS1 option that pops up - sorted

[@MohammedAmaan-p8m]

@@Samji3877 Thanks finally

[@faz-ue7bs]

By default warp will use its own prompt to use the one shown in the video go to Settings > Appearance > Prompt and select shell prompt

[@Kaka-zs4cp]

Well, I’m happy for you to get the support bud! But I already feel into the warp trap once.

[@jimcarroll9738]

Nice preso, decent pace, lighting, audio (+voice). Not keen on the jump-cuts, but I'm guessing this is due to making mistakes and re-recording sections, then editing them together? FYI I wouldn't say starship is a replacement for oh-my-zsh, but rather for alt themes such as powerlevel10k. And just set `ZSH_THEME=""` to disable the oh-my-zsh theme. I still like the oh-my-zsh plugins that let me save a few keystrokes, such as typing `..` to go to the parent dir (rather than `cd ..`), `...` to go to the parent-parent dir, etc. I'd looked at starship a while back; it really helped that you took the extra steps to show a nice custom prompt! I've switched over 🙂

[@PetrenkoAndrii]

This is the dream video! Warp with catppuccin is the best for everyday work. Installing it right now! But will it work with tmux stuff? Make a video on it, please. So cool to see the video, start using and not to make own research. Never had time. Thank you much, friend :)

[@maurofagiani2365]

I would add zoxide to your zshrc (or any other shell) for blazing fast directory change

[@chuckmuckamuck8001]

Sign up to run a terminal program? No thank you.

[@OffroadTreks]

actively deleting comments that point that out too. It's spyware terminal.

[@Cowboydjrobot]

I think the problem with these sorts of set-ups is that they are tricky to implement professionally. Like unless you work for a brand new startup with no security concerns, you probably can’t just install whatever random tools you want. It would be nice to see tips for how to make a beautiful terminal that I could implement anywhere

[@ChrisNoesen]

Another amazing video! Keep em coming!

[@typecraft_dev]

Thanks! Will do!

[@AWorthingt]

I love that you rep Catppuccin!

[@typecraft_dev]

its the best

[@lel7531]

Also not disclosing paid affiliation at the beginning of the video seems like a shady move, and there is no mention of it in the description or an info card in the video that you likely forgot to check. That's a lot just for warp damn. Imagine getting all of your secrets, keys and all transiting to warp's server 💀

[@typecraft_dev]

The beginning of the video DOES have a promotion card (maybe you missed it?). And we mention the sponsorship before getting into it. Personally, I actually think Warp is an interesting tool. You can dislike if you want of course!

[@lel7531]

@@typecraft_devi did miss the promotion card that's on me but there is no mention of it being a sponsored video before almost the halfway point being at 3:40 or 3:50 and no mention of it in the description too. I think it's an interesting proof of concept of what you can do but definitely not a too anybody should use if they care about they type in their terminal which is the most private part of your computer.

[@JamesMowery]

I had NO idea this was sponsored. Now I'm even more confused. @@typecraft_dev I'm VERY disappointed. Taking sponsorships is fine and dandy for the business side of things, but to sneak it in like this... not good. Borderline scammy compared to what I've seen from other creators.

You forgot to show/mention that warp requires you to create an account and login just to use it.

[@SingasongAoC]

Looking nice but it is a no go! First: Closed Source Terminal is not an option, not even for personal use. The amount of secrets in form of passwords or keys you send over here is far too high and the information too sensitive. Second: Why should I need to log in an account for a terminal session - this is not the kind of app i want to share even a bit of over the "open" web. Third: AI will be limited to 20 requests per day oder you have to pay. Sorry - copilot ate that monthly budget already.

[@typecraft_dev]

Appreciate your opinion! Those are valid concerns

[@felipegutierrez2944]

I love this content! I'm learning tons, thanks! Are you planing to continue your js web scraping content?

Loved the starship part. Thanks for the port of gruvbox-rainbow to catppuccin palette!

[@manee427]

iterm is far more better because it is completly free . Warp is commercial product

[@hrqmonteiro]

I think is insane to use AI in your terminal. Also they ask for your info to login. This is crazy. I will absolutely never use AI in a terminal emulator. These two don't go together.

[@lel7531]

I totally agree

[@gnom-om]

agree

[@Kaka-zs4cp]

Dont tell me you are using wrap… I’m just 37 seconds in but all these features better be on alacrity

[@mpete0273]

Everything he mentioned about warp is provided by Fish shell, which runs in any emulator, alacritty included.

[@Kaka-zs4cp]

Yeah, fish is nice! I use zsh though just because bash is more generalized and the differences when scripting for zsh and bash are “minimal” But all the features I already got installed on alacrity. I just feel like warp is try hard to promoted themselves as the future terminal, but try using warp with tmux and you will back away pretty fast from warp! Alacrity + tmux is crazy

[@typecraft_dev]

koob-uh-neetus?

[@PetrenkoAndrii]

[@DV-ml4fm]

I skipped warp. But installed starship. Starship is the easiest way to get a custom prompt.

[@fschlegelone]

I dont know what I think about warp.. I mean it's pretty cool, but it feels so different from "normal" terminal emulators

[@laughingvampire7555]

fish is great, it reminds me a little of ruby

[@deafpolygon]

why do i want telemetry and ai data collection in my term?

[@keshavkhatri3206]

Thanks nerd!

[@CarmenGeelhaar]

I tried Warp but didn't like it. It's too cluttered and overloaded with stuff I don't need. Just my my opinion and taste. I like it more minimal. Kitty is still my favorite so far.

[@j1d7s]

I will try Warp when it is available for Linux, but I am not sure I will like it, it starts looking like VS Code. I just want a plain box with no sidebar, popups etc. The fancy stuff all goes into my Neovim config.

[@typecraft_dev]

its all personal preference for sure (thanks for being a member!!)

[@laughingvampire7555]

starship is not ohmyzsh, Javier is comparing apples and oranges. starship is just equivalent to theming that ohmyzsh offers, but still you should only use ohmyzsh just to explore the plugins, try them and then copy them to your own config, and you can still use starship to pimp your prompt.

[@laggedskapari]

Another banger from nerd!

[@laggedskapari]

But I feel warp doesn't give that minimalistic feel like iTerm does...idk maybe I hate change.

[@salamoureux]

[@HowToLinux]

monaspace is realy nice

[@DeveloperLeon]

Alas, I couldn't get starship working with Warp - it works with all my other terminals which is a shame, because Warp has been my main terminal for a while!

[@garage_logician]

try going into the appearance setting and select user prompt rather than one of the Warp prompts. I ran into that issue, I was able to get the prompt to display but ran into another issue (black arrow dividers on the catppucin prompt, instead of the continuous color)

[@naveenbisht4627]

[@lukaLondaridze]

Hey typecraft, which current Linux terminals would you recommend for Neovim? Kitty? Alacritty or WezTerm? Thx in advance

[@LudoTechWorld]

It doesn't make any difference, Neovim works the same on any terminal (better to use one that support 24bits colors though for colorschemes, but the three you mentioned do). Now, if you want ligature support and/or image support, you can remove Alacritty from your list. If you want full multi-platform support, you can remove Kitty, which leaves only WezTerm. Otherwise, the three of them are very good. But you you can also try Warp as in the video if you're on Mac, or other alternative like Rio, Contour, etc...

[@j1d7s]

I am not typecraft... But I can recommend kitty, I never had problems with that terminal and I have been using it for some 3-4 years. I have a very small config file for that, much smaller than my zsh configuration.

[@74Bagas]

can't go wrong. installed all. i am on alacritty side, though. i am not into ligature or image preview. image preview on wezterm (on yazi file manager) just works. for me, i removed kitty.

[@j1d7s]

@@LudoTechWorld Thanks for chiming in, the missing ligature support maybe was the reason why I switched from alacritty at the time, but I don't remember.

[@EmileNani]

I'm going to recommend something not as popular. Konsole just works for me. I tried wezterm and it's nice but was laggy. I wemt back to Konsole and couldn't be happier

[@laughingvampire7555]

Wave & Wezterm are better than Warp because they are opensource and Wave: written in Go & TypeScript Wezterm: written in Rust. iTerm has added AI help as well.

[@arshadjaveed7877]

[@jonolo6]

Im curious about your tmux setup (I assume you use smth for window/pane splits). Personally i use kitty and have a neovim kitty navigation plugin helper so I can navigate easily between neovim panes, and when at the edges, the same shortcut takes me to the next kitty pane/window

[@sujezz]

I have starship on my windows work laptop and my home windows pc, it's slow on both in powershell and wsl. On my uni/personal laptop I have arch and zsh, I just don't see a reason to give up zsh with powerline10k. I've heard starship is fast but I don't see how it can be faster if it's slower on my r7700x than powerline10k on i7-4700mq. Edit: starship isn't faster than powerline10k, it's written in rust and while fast it's not as fast as shell scripts. It's just a marketing for rust = modern, fast.

Thanks for sharing your ideas. Does anyone know about any other terminal where you can fix position of the prompt to bottom/top? I am searching for such for some time but havent found any. Warp is probably first?

you don't need Warp's ai, because you can call AI's from the cli and then you make a aliases and functions and scripts to implement your workflow., and bash for instance has an advantage you can have a self-hosted server to store and index your command line history and then install the client in all of your computers and devices and have auto-completion across all your devices based on your own history, without going to warp's private openai instance. have developers forgotten about the power of open source or software libre? I write libre because using "free" confuses English speakers with 0 cost.

[@sharanupst]

have you had issues with tmux and warp ?

[@typecraft_dev]

not personally. I can use tmux in warp (but I lose the warp functionality like AI, autocompelte, etc..)

[@jhonyortiz5]

As many comments have mentioned, having to login and in the future I'm guessing having to pay for a terminal is ridiculous. DO NOT USE WARP!!!! This is a bad recommendation. Use something like kitty, alacrity, or wezterm with a shell like fish and you already have so much of warp's functionality. Customize it with a few tuis/cli applications and you are good to go.
