How to make your Linux or Mac terminal BEAUTIFUL

In this video, I want to show you how to make your Mac OS AND Linux (AND windows) Terminal absolutely beautiful with just a few tools. Using Warp, Starship, Catppuccin color theme, and nerdfonts, we can get some amazing things out of our terminal. I use this setup for my terminal every day while programming, and I love looking at it all day long. If I had friends, they'd totally be jealous now.

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.

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

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!

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!

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

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

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.

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 :)

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!

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.

[mentalmarvin]

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

[MohammedAmaan-pm]

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.

Prefer 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.

I love your jokes and the timing is impeccable but the best part is the content is fantastic

[lastink]

ok, starship is true discovery of the week my guy, thanks a lot

[Kaka-zscp]

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

5:06 you earned my subscription because you love catppuccin!

[foxleewooisiang]

Cannot find the catppuccin colour style's starship toml file in your GitHub space

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 🙂

[pepmarquez]

Thanks. I was using power10k but this is more clean and beautiful. My like in this video and repo 👍
