How to setup your Mac Terminal to be beautiful

[@jizhang2407]

Thank you. Just like all your neovim videos, it works, it's beautiful, it's succinct, and it's packed with knowledge.

[@t0nyz0]

Really awesome video and with about 20 replays I was able to get it working. Minor suggestions, people are doing this step by step, so in parts where you fly through the command prompts so fast they are unreadable even if you slow down the video, thats frustrating. Look at 4:14 as an example. Type in the command, pause 2 seconds, continue.. there should be no where in the video that you are typing and entering a command in less than 300's of a second.

[@elinjoroge4266]

how did u manage to know what he did in that part. I am lost and can not continue

[@benjaminangafua]

@@elinjoroge4266 He left me frustrated

[@seandougherty3022]

@@elinjoroge4266 he said to change the theme variable. there's only one place you can do that with how he has things setup...the zshrc file. even if you didn't know that, in the lualine/statusline in nvim, it tells you what file is actively being edited in the active buffer.

[@rai_tech]

I had a hard time installing colorls in macos. First, after typing the command to install the gem, I had an error saying that there was no ruby config file or so. I solved that by installing ruby through homebrew. After that, even successfully installing the colorls, zsh wasn't able to find it. Then, I had to add a bunch of stuff to the PATH, to tell my command line where the ruby gems were installed. After all these efforts, I could get colorls running beautifully!

[@chriscs9080]

thats so fucking fast for anyone to follow , you have to pause the video again and again ...even on slowmotion is fast lol

[@jc.baptiste]

I appreciate your config is simple yet beautiful and efficient. Just enough stuff, not too much.

[@burstfireno1617]

Too fast to follow along for a beginner like me : / ... 01:57 what's happening here?

[@ankitpalsingh8191]

select your terminal and on the top bar of mac you will see a help button right to Window click on that and search for settings you will get the same setting box there.

[@DebashisTalukdar]

Oh my God! This is so awesome! Thank you for sharing this. A really nicely presented video with a fast pace (had to use pause a few times - and that's cool; it just makes it so engaging!)

[@rodquilter1137]

well it appears nice but talking too fast for me to follow and no idiots guide to copy !!!!!!!!!

[@typecraft_dev]

Sorry I’ll make a slower one!!

[@stevep8363]

If you slow it down to .25 speed you almost have enough time for your eyes to focus on what text he's typing... almost.

[@plamenyossifov6135]

very nice, but a little slower and some more explanations would've been nice

[@Hydrakid-to2rr]

this is really fast for someone that started yet

[@joshuayoo9031]

Awesome tutorial! It's really helpful 👍

[@matttroughton7391]

how do you install nvim for Mac. I trued installing some of the new colors for the terminal in iterm2 but it said the command was not found. how can I combat this?

[@ManishSharma-g3b]

this video helped me, thanks

[@typecraft_dev]

Glad it helped

[@danman6669]

Grammar Nazi here. It's actually "set up," not "setup." "Setup" is a noun, whereas "set up" is a verb.

[@typecraft_dev]

Shoot. Thanks alot

[@SabarMohamed]

I just use warp terminal, it's really great

[@ChristopherTehBoonSung]

Now I realize why my Terminal looks like the default; too lazy to download all the apps and set each of them…

[@typecraft_dev]

thats fair

[@marcoschirrmeister]

You can have it much quicker and by default, when you use the fish shell and use exa as a ls replacement. 😀

[@GabrielMartinez-ez9ue]

is there a reason why when i edit the zshrc file, i don't see any colors using vim?

[@LorenzoBettini]

Thanks for the video. Note that p10k configure allows you to automatically install and set the recommended meslo nerd font. Moreover, it looks like you're using Jetbrains font instead of Hack

[@typecraft_dev]

that's right I definitely glossed over the fact p10k installs meslo NF. I should update this video.

[@scriptedpixelsltd]

It’s too hard to see the settings you chose. Can you supply the settings in a file/seeenshot/comment?

[@bengraham1798]

You type the command and the move away from it too quickly

[@zwew_gang]

slow down the vid 😹

[@TaylorWard-f8u]

This is really usefull info )))

[@typecraft_dev]

You’re useful info :)

[@tompov227]

No offense but the single greatest monospaced font ever created-Apple‘s Menlo is already installed on macOS, so why is everybody so obsessed with this jet brains mono font? I like it but it’s clearly inferior. There’s even a nerd fond version of Menlo.

[@typecraft_dev]

I like menlo too :)

[@hw5622]

menlo with nerd font patch is nice

[@FlailingWildly]

Over the years, I migrated from Menlo → Meslo LG S → Meslo with Nerdfont → SF Mono with Nerdfont.

[@al1gned]

Ever heard of a thing called preference?

[@tompov227]

@@al1gned I’m being hyperbolic

[@pollitoninja_]

thanks, colorls wanst working for me because I didn't type source after add the alias, now it's working. thanks!

[@javierleyba]

Useless recommendations for rookies. Warp is by far better that iTerm, far, far better. Starship is far, far better that Ohmyzsh. And also there are some very useful tools like eza...all of them made with Rust language.

[@VS-jv7kn]

Amazing video, as a person who loves to have everything aesthetically pleasing this helped so much!!

[@typecraft_dev]

Awesome glad you liked it!

[@alexey_sychev]

Font installation even easier with this: brew install --cask homebrew/cask-fonts/font-hack-nerd-font

[@caballerosalas]

You talk and show things too fast. It is difficult to pause to copy the commands.

[@xxkoalamanxx]

Great video, great explanation! The only thing I didn't essentially get is how you manage to get the Apple icon instead of your username. Besides all of that it's been a great video. Thank you so much for putting this together and helping people like myself myself.

[@typecraft_dev]

honestly I don't remember :) might have been a default for the command line theme

[@JohnSmith-zl8rz]

2:45 why in hell zsh will delete all the files of the computer from git official file, what a non sense comment!

[@SauloEduardo1]

Anyone trying to follow this in September, 2024? I'm getting syntax-highlighting and autosuggestion plugins. (it says plugin not found when the prompt is loaded). I've installed them using brew instead of sourcing the script from web.

[@SauloEduardo1]

and for autosuggestions I had a typo so never mind!

[@SaiTeja-ir7yv]

Really cool stuff. Now Im gonna showoff to my code buddies. Ok bye!!

[@typecraft_dev]

See ya!

[@tryggviedwald1542]

No offense, but I’ve had to squint through too many dark-blue filenames on black bacground on colleagues’ terminals. I have come to appreciate the clean simplicity of the standard terminal. I can syntax-highlight in my brain.

[@typecraft_dev]

All good brother 👊

[@llchristubell]

Personally, I like yellow on black. I agree that making sure all text is readable is critical, so many colour sets have bad contrast in places.

[@lebraeu]

man you are going through these commands so fast not even fast enough to pause the video man 🥴

[@typecraft_dev]

Shoot. Maybe I’ll make a new one slowed down

[@llchristubell]

Or just list the commands in a pinned comment?

[@sammatthews516]

Nice video. Love the ruby add on with colorls.

[@IQFrink]

I have no idea what NVIM is. How do you copy and create new file? I downloaded nevoid and copy and enter what you did and nothing is writing?

[@IQFrink]

oh, I think I figured it out. you did a :wa after copy and paste. this part is so fast I had to slow down to .25 speed to see you even did that. Just a word of advice when you are giving tutorials...assume the viewer doesn't know anything you are doing

[@medhavimiddha9882]

I followed the steps outlined in this video, but for Hack Nerd Font doesn't look like yours when you are showing. Is there something I am missing?

[@richardbennett4365]

Why is that woman gasping? Anyway, forget about her. She doesn't even appear in the video. One doesn't need oh my zsh. The same configuration can be done without it and very simply and without installing all that extra stuff. One also doesn't need iTerm2. There are plenty of other choices that the narrator never mentions.

[@JarppaGuru]

why not default every where so peoples not need do it lol. they would remove it to normal. people allways want change. and you did not know it you followed other video lolol

[@richardbennett4365]

The narrator did not install zsh-completions. Why not? He could have told his viewers about them. Anyway. Good video. Missed the woman with mouth shape, though.

[@almayo274]

You do it really fast and don't say what buttons or commands to press for beginners it is very difficult!!

[@chelovak]

WOW! It's very useful! Thanks!

[@typecraft_dev]

You’re welcome! Glad you found this useful

[@EzDoesntExist]

keep in mind all the changes you made takes affect on the default terminal which I found enough and don't need iterm2 for my needs. Default one gets pretty with your steps!:)

[@citizenclown]

LMAO, this is totally a Mac thing. Make your terminal pretty! LMAO

[@iam.neekeeteen]

I never undersatnd why I need iTerm, what's wrong with the default Terminal?

[@elinjoroge4266]

I have no idea what you did at 01:57. I am lost and I cannot continue. I think i should look for another slower tutorial, you toooo fast

[@RobSirota]

Thanks for the great tips. However when I do ls which is alias for colorls it works on my local drive but when I ssh into my server ls is the same old boring ls. Also how can I stop it from capitalizing the first character of a command?

[@llchristubell]

You need to install zsh and set it up on your server if you want it consistent. Set the same alias etc

[@JohnSmith-zl8rz]

why in thell you need iTerm over Terminal?

[@latakantsharma3134]

Can you help me for Kali. I am trying to set alias ls = 'colorls' but it not working

[@fzrte]

I believe you can't have any spaces in the command, so type it like this instead: alias ls='colorls'

[@SaschaKleiber]

Stupid question, but why does your ls look like "ls -la"?

[@vbcv1]

then wait for your terminal to boot up in just 10 seconds :)

[@terrydaniel9045]

Another great video. Works great minus one thing: What is the reason aliases must be included at the bottom? I tried entering it further up in the zshrc but found it wouldn't work as intended.

[@typecraft_dev]

that is odd, it shouldn't matter, unless your alias relied on something higher up in the .zshrc file

[@terrydaniel9045]

@@typecraft_dev So it needs to be under the line that says ' source $ZSH/oh-my-zsh.sh' which seems sensible, leaving this here in case anyone else encounter the same

[@chosig1911]

You want to add it to the bottom, last entered line makes the rules, oh-my-zsh has it's own alias (it makes `ls = ls --color=tty`), so if you add your alias above the source it gets overwritten. Edit: if you just type 'alias' you can see all the aliases that comes out of the box.

Thank you for this video! Yep, the terminal looks way more appealing than before. One problem I ran into though.... when downloading the "Hack Nerd Font", there were no "complete" versions of the font.
