Nice post, here is mine. It's really "classic" with a little companion:

2h0n • Dec 6 '18

that's cool. how?

Arnaud Morisset • Dec 6 '18

Just one line in my .zshrc. ;)

export PROMPT='%F{235}%B%c%b%f$(_currentKubernetesContextName)$(_currentEnvironmentName)%(?.(%F{198}♥%f‿%F{198}♥%f.(%F{75}ಥ%f_%F{75}ಥ%f)) '

NB: You can omit the Kubernetes part.

I use termite with zsh. The calendar is when. Font is Inconsolata-dz (a variant with straight quotation marks). Window titles are displayed in my statusbar so I save a tiny bit of space by eliminating borders and titlebars. Pressing ESC or Ctrl+[ switches the command line from insert to command mode so I can navigate as in vi.

Sean Crossey • Mar 4 '18

is that massive-js as in the not-really-an-orm for postgres? if so i discovered it yesterday - great package!

Dian Fay • Mar 4 '18

It is, yes! Glad you like it!

Alex Miasoiedov • Mar 5 '18

perfect one! 10/10

Jess Chandler • Feb 28 '18 • Edited

Love the question and all the responses. I'm using zsh and the man theme - ran a few dir and speak commands to show how git and time are incorporated.

JD Taft • Mar 5 '18

This kinda looks like a giant Post-It note. I like that.

Jess Chandler • Mar 6 '18

I stumbled on the yellow while playing around with the default choices in Terminal. :) I like it...almost all of my other coding screens are dark grey.

Lucas Moulin • Feb 28 '18 • Edited

I try to keep it pretty minimal

Seems more like prezto and not Oh My ZSH.

Bo • Nov 4 '18

Yeah you are correct, my bad. I have since switched over to fish shell.

Stephanie • Mar 1 '18

I have a random happy ascii character and a motivational phrase every new window. :)

Gunnar Gissel • Feb 28 '18 • Edited

Here's where I make the money...

lynn • Mar 3 '18

This is the ideal terminal. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

Michael Born • Mar 3 '18

Is it? From my experience, the windows terminal is both less useful and simply slower to use than any Unix terminal. But it certainly gets the job done.

Gunnar Gissel • Mar 3 '18

GG Allyn is referencing this: twitter.com/scrowder/status/687260...

There are definitely better terminals, even on Windows. Still, this is what I get paid for

Michael Born • Mar 4 '18

Ah, I get it. Yeah, for our Windows servers I like git bash.

Gunnar Gissel • Mar 5 '18

Our environment is locked down enough that git bash isn’t an option for me. I like it when I get the chance, though!

Sergiu Mureşan • Aug 31 '18

The Linux simulation you see when you open Git Bash is actually MSYS2 which you can find right here

You can do really cool things with it, like using the GCC tool-chain right inside of Windows.

d3rrila • Mar 2 '18 • Edited

Here's mine :D

And on Windows:

Michael Born • Mar 3 '18

Hold on while I go install neofetch...

Mohammed Foysal • Mar 4 '18

What terminal are you using for Windows. I've been using Git Bash but am looking for something better, preferably something with ZSH.

d3rrila • Mar 4 '18 • Edited

Sorry to disappoint, I'm actually using the Windows Subsystem for Linux together with VcXsrv and basically I just compiled my regular linux terminal for it ( st.suckless.org/ )
The font I'm using is Realtime by Juri Zaech in case anybody cares.

I hope this helps, but I'm sorry if it doesn't.

Edit: st has quite a few drawbacks. It's a terminal emulator and literally nothing else. You don't even have a scrollback buffer. There are patches on the website for it, but expect to manually splice them in with some code surgery, because those patches are always out of date.

Stephanie Handsteiner • Feb 28 '18

In case someone asks, this is the theme.

Cedric • Nov 25 '19

Nord is the best theme for terminal

Jess Lee • Feb 28 '18

On my home machine 😄

Jess Lee • Mar 1 '18

Here's my work machine 😇

Meghan (she/her) • Mar 1 '18

wait, bash has tabs?

T-Bone • Mar 2 '18 • Edited

Iterm ftw

Thibault Maekelbergh • Mar 2 '18

Any macOS terminal has tabs.

Kjell Otto • Mar 6 '18

This is just the iTerm app as a Terminal replacement. But you can make "bash has tabs" with screen or tmux :) have a look, it's really great for remote work too.

teakap • Mar 6 '18

Linux OS have tabs as well. Try ctr+shift+t ;)

Lucas Moulin • Feb 28 '18

Quick tip: If you press Cmd+Shift+4 and then press Space you can take a screenshot of a single application :)

Enno Rehling (恩諾) • Mar 4 '18 • Edited

What they didn't tell me: Cmd+Ctrl+Shift+4 will put the screenshot into the clipboard, which is a lot easier when what you want is to paste directly into Slack.

Lucas Moulin • Mar 4 '18

This is awesome too! Unless you use Safari, because Safari doesn't support this =/

Enno Rehling (恩諾) • Mar 4 '18

My final recommendation for screenshots is Skitch, which has very nifty tools for annotating. I love the arrows especially.

Lucas Moulin • Mar 4 '18

Skitch is great, I stopped using it when I found out that Preview has a lot of those annotating features. It isn't as feature full as Skitch, but it fits me well.

toby • Mar 5 '18

If on Windows 10 there is the WinKey + Shift + S keycombo to launch selecting an area to screen shot which gets copied to the clipboard.
Or just hit WinKey, type snip, and hit enter, then select the Window selection.
Or use the WinKey + Alt + prntscrn shortcut with the correct window selected and a shot will be saved to your Captures directory

Ashley Sheridan • Mar 6 '18

All these crazy key combinations, on Linux all you need to do is press the regular old print screen button, and it lets you do any of those things without having to remember arcane sequences ;)

miku86 • Mar 9 '18

And if you hit Alt + Print,
you get a screenshot of the current focused window.

Guney Ozsan • Nov 7 '18

Good old print screen still works on Windows. These are for custom crops.

Mac Siri • Mar 1 '18

Woah that is a neat tip.

Valentin Baca • Feb 28 '18 • Edited

FYI You can get rid of the "Last login" with touch .hushlogin

Also, I really like the "cash cow" prompt :)

Is that NERDTree or something different?

Khaled Garbaya • May 17 '18

Yep that's nerd tree

Brad • Mar 2 '18

What editor is that? Looks neat.

Andre Christoga Pramaditya • Mar 3 '18

Vim.

Brad • Mar 3 '18

Lol I know how to exit vim, I swear. Didn't recognize it with the file explorer showing.

Harry • Mar 3 '18

How's react dev in vim?

I ended up moving away because I couldn't deal with large projects - I've started pulling it up for quick edits in my Vs code terminal though. I miss the utility

Khaled Garbaya • Mar 3 '18

Works very well for me and especially with the combination of tmux I do all my coding in one terminal window. I can even zoom in one pane, do something and zoom back out.

dmdinh22 • Mar 6 '18

Any way you can share your .vimrc? would like to check out your settings.

Sure thing, use this branch it is up to date github.com/Khaledgarbaya/dotfiles/...

p-mcgowan • Mar 3 '18 • Edited

Termux on android - I use default terminals (nothing fancy) with dotfiles in source control so all my devices are matching and I can re-provision if I want to destroy them with fire.

My desktop/laptop/server are all the same format (different uname in PS1, semi-transparent background, otherwise default gnome-terminal), and red PS1 when ssh'd in (since I used to shut down the wrong box from time to time). Obviously programming on my phone is a last resort, but it's saved me from production fires before - ssh and data, what else do you need?

Dave Jacoby • Mar 5 '18 • Edited

My work linux box:

Meaning, left-to-right:
My computer is up-to-date

Jess Chandler • Mar 6 '18

Wow...and I immediately had to go and look up Taskwarrior :)

Kyle Galloway • Mar 6 '18

Dave Jacoby • Mar 6 '18

It helps if you have Font Awesome set up on your system.

This needs cleaning up. As pasted from my prompt.sh

The // ♥ is the default prompt in Flatiron School's IDE (a play on their motto "Learn, Love, Code"), and I've been adding it to my terminal ever since.

Doug Miller • Jan 30 '19

how do i get out of script and the // ♥ prompt? I can't use terminal for anything else.

Yechiel Kalmenson • Jan 30 '19

The settings for the prompt are usually in a file in the home directory called .bashrc or .bash_profile, search for PS1, that's the variable that holds your bash prompt. If you want to change it just change the value of PS1.

There are lots of tutorials online that teach how to add dynamic information to the prompt, like the current working directory, the time, and how to add color.

Doug Miller • Jan 30 '19

Thanks for the help,

It seems that some kind of script was running and even when I exit it, It would restart when opened terminal again.

It started after I followed the set up the Flatiron school tutorials.

In the end I deleted all the .bashxx files and restarted terminal.

Nothing succeeds like excess!

Pretty! But how is Hyper performance? (startup times, execution, etc)

Élie • Mar 7 '18

The Hyper buffer is very bad... You can't run cat on large files. But the rest is acceptable, the slowest thing is WSL with OhMyZSH

I do find OhMyZsh kinda slow on WSL. There are ways of reducing the issue but not completely :-\

What's performance on Hyper like? I ask because I know how slow atom can be and seeing as how this is also built on electron I'm a little skeptical on it's performance potential.
Also, my terminal:

I run Tmux with vim as my main editor and zsh as my shell, I use zplug for zsh plugin management.
My theme is gruvbox on my term and in vim

Casey Webb • Mar 6 '18 • Edited

It's not fantastic, but good enough for how I use it. Performance degrades quickly as you start adding plugins.

I typically use VS Code's terminal for the convenience, but it's also wicked fast. Sure do miss the APOD background though...

EDIT: Hyper 2 uses VS Code's renderer, thus it's now also wicked fast.

Are you using git bash on Windows 10? What's wrong with WSL?

I have Ubuntu WSL with a console theme and oh my zsh with power-line theme and a patched font, for use as regular terminal. But I also have it set for using as the terminal in vscode.

Saurabh Sharma • Mar 6 '18

Wsl is the best thing in Windows. Nothing is wrong with it. 😋

Desmond Edem • Dec 26 '18

How did you patch your fonts on WSL? I noticed some icons are not displaying on my terminal. I use fira code

toby • Dec 26 '18

The one I was using was from the power line font pack, there is a patched power line pack. I'm not sure if that had First.

However, there is now Nerd Fonts (github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts) which is a much larger pack of patched fonts - still not sure if first is in that.

To use any of the forms from any pack, simply unzip the font you want, install it on windows in the normal manner (right click & install iirc) then restart the shell and check the shell properties to select the new font.

Desmond Edem • Dec 26 '18 • Edited

Thanks alot for replying. Let me try this right away.

Edit: Hey @toby it worked.

I don't think mine is much to look at, other than the status bar at the top. Looking at everyone else's terminals makes me want to fancy mine up more. I mainly wanted to post this because I only saw one other PowerShell user.

Saurabh Sharma • Mar 3 '18

Why don't you user hyper. It's cool. But powershell is too.

Miff • Mar 10 '18

Because Hyper appears to be only for OSX and I use Windows?

Saurabh Sharma • Mar 11 '18

nope, it's cross-platform.

edA‑qa mort‑ora‑y • Feb 28 '18

Konsole with several tabs. DejaVu Sans Mono font (since I've yet to find proportional font friendly terminals and apps). Very large scroll-back buffer, though I clear it often. Bash.

Raphaël Pinson • Mar 5 '18 • Edited

Here is mine: bash with nerd fonts, tuned git prompt, icons based on location + files in folder & custom colors

Adam Wood • Mar 5 '18 • Edited

Emacs in a Mac Terminal.
The bottom buffer is a shell, the top buffer is whatever I am working on (at the moment, a document for docs.opendatakit.org).

When working on web stuff, including docs (which I usually am), I also keep a second terminal open that runs a Python http.server in the build directory.

Emacs has a few different terminal options. I only really like shell, but none of them quite work like I want to.

My home setup uses st, tmux with my own theme, zsh with oh-my-zsh and my own theme. The editor is kakoune with theme desertex (comes with the editor). The low contrast shows that the pane is currently not active.

Vinny • Oct 27 '18

How did you get tmux to work with st / kakoune if you don't mind me asking? I'm absolutely loving kakoune + tmux, but the colors are all wonky at the moment. If I try the color overrides in my tmux.conf, then tmux panes fail to work when using Kakoune to invoke them ;(

Vinny • Oct 27 '18

[EDIT] Nevermind! I discovered that I had the wrong overrides :D Thank you for your configs!! I never did take the time to understand the whole tmux color business; I think it's now time that I did.

iTerm 2, running oh-my-zsh with the Spaceship theme.

Font is Operator Mono, color scheme is Cobalt2.

Steven Washington • Mar 2 '18 • Edited

I pretty much exclusively use iTerm's hotkey window overlay to access my terminal from anywhere (with global shortcut). Shell is zsh with the agnoster theme.

Dustin King • May 26 '18 • Edited

It's the default macOS terminal. The text color is currently not the shade of teal that I like, because I messed it up trying to improve the contrast.

I want to mess around with ANSI colors a bit to offset the program output from the commands and prompts. I also think it would be nice to show the return code if it's nonzero.

My custom theme for ZSH. The terminal is gnome-terminal on arch linux + KDE.
You can find it here if you're interested: github.com/redxtech/dotfiles/blob/...

It's fully customize-able by default if there are things that you would like to change about it as well.

Salim MAHBOUBI • May 2 '18

Ante-Scriptum: The other windows aren't pushed by the terminal, I just resized Firefox for the screenshot

If you can't read what's in the screenshot:
This is my Guake Terminal, it runs fish, instead of the default bash.
I set it to auto-start on boot-up and always keep it running on the background.
I call it by pressing F12 and it drops down like a video game console, I press F12 and it disappears while still running, without cluttering my already busy window list.
I can set an image as a background, set the background's transparency, choose different themes, open multiple tabs. I love my terminal!

iTerm, zsh, powerlevel9k, OMZ, and custom colors because I cannot look at half the color schemes without my brain and eyes burning. Soft colors.

Not entirely up-to-date repository here: github.com/Jahhein/zshconfigs

double tapping option brings iTerm up from the bottom of my screen. Those settings are not in the repo, but if anyone is interested I will update the configs to include everything. :)

I have a few different terminal themes I use. My current favorite is ducky:

I usually use taller at work because it gives me more git information (branch, time since last commit, state of branch):

I'm not currently using magicalness anywhere, but I switch back to it from time to time. Each time a new window/tab is opened in the terminal the emoji in the last line is randomly swapped out.

other emoji's that might show up:
