Best terminal of all times 😂

Don Alfons Nisnoni • Aug 14 '19

Simply legend terminal 😄😂

First: love it. Now, 2 questions. How do you format that prompt? Multi-level and folder icon looks really slick. Secondly, is the date/time always there or is that part of neofetch? If it's always there I'd love to know how you set that up.

Thanks!

Tom VanAntwerp • Jun 11 '19

Using Powerlevel9k for that. Here's a gist of my settings for it.

Dave Fulton • Jun 11 '19

Awesome, much appreciated! However, this is the first I'm hearing about Powerlevel9k and a cursory look at it tells me it may be a rabbit hole that never actually ends. So... thanks?

What command shows that?

Stephanie Handsteiner • Jun 11 '19

neofetch.

If you're on Mac with Homebrew installed just do brew install neofetch

Dominic Shelton • Jun 12 '19

or port install neofetch

That very nice..!! 😍😍

Here's mine

Chris - I love your colorscheme. I've implemented it in my terminal emulator too!

David Wickes • Jun 12 '19

How did you choose the font, by the way?

Niko Heikkilä • Jun 11 '19

Almost the same with Ali!

Using:

Hyper 3 as terminal app
tmux to create multiple sessions and split panes
Fish with Oh-My-Fish framework as default shell (theme is called Spacefish)
exa as replacement for ls
bat as replacement for cat (aliased here, though)
...and many more nice things

Florian Rand • Jun 11 '19

Lovely, I'm seeing a lot of fellow fishes

Dan • Jun 11 '19

I’m curious- why do you like Hyper 3? (I’ve never tried it)

Niko Heikkilä • Jun 12 '19

Because there is no iTerm for Windows. With Hyper I can replicate this exactly same terminal experience on all platforms.

Well, Windows has a bit different font rendering but otherwise I can just hop between computers and stay productive.

The other terminal I'm using sometimes is the one built into VS Code which is another cross-platform dream.

Dan • Jun 12 '19

Ahh I see I see.
I may try it but I wonder if it’s a bit of a hog with electron. I like that you can style it with css

Niko Heikkilä • Jun 12 '19

It's not the fastest terminal emulator out there but definitely faster than Hyper 1 & 2. Impressive how much performance improvements ZEIT has been able to put into their latest release. Definitely shows that Electron apps do not need to be resource hogs.

Cameren Dolecheck • Jun 29 '19

Fish is great. I'm always surprised it is not more popular.

Niko Heikkilä • Jun 30 '19

I'd guess in the past it has been too exotic a choice for daily usage as you would have to chain commands like mkdir newdir; and cd newdir instead of basic &&. Now the game has changed, though, so let's keep on praising it. 🎉

I loved your setup so I implemented it

Chandra Dasari • Jun 11 '19

Its a mix of Wes Bos's setup and the Dracula theme

What is this l command that show icons?

kevin • Jun 12 '19 • Edited

ls aliased as l in shell config file. Icons and colors can be achieved with colorls github.com/athityakumar/colorls

Zizaco • Jun 18 '19

Thanks !

I've found another way to do so: github.com/Peltoche/lsd + alias ls=lsd.

kevin • Jun 18 '19 • Edited

wow, thanks for sharing this. I've recently started setting up wsl2 on different distro, will try this lsd instead, got me at rust 😄. Btw, your terminal looks great, may I know it's details?

Edit: I have tried lsd, confirm that's it's amazingly fast, no hiccups as observed with colorls. I'll have to see its performance together with spaceship prompt and other zsh plugin, my original setup in wsl1.

I use arch btw!

Are you part of OperationCode.org or does the opcode prompt mean something different to you?

Itachi Uchiha • Jun 18 '19

Hi, actually I didn't know OperationCode.org before.

My opcode username is related to CPU;

An opcode is the first byte of an instruction in machine language which tells the hardware what operation needs to be performed with this instruction. Every processor/controller has its own set of opcodes defined in its architecture. An opcode is followed by data like address, values, etc if needed.
