# Pixegami Terminal Profile
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is my profile for UNIX (MacOS/Linux) terminals. For Ubuntu, I just use the default terminal
|
|
app. For MacOS, I use [iTerm2](https://iterm2.com/).
|
|
|
|
> In the MacOS case, I have successfully installed this theme once before, but most of the terminal commands
|
|
> will be different. You'll just have to open the `.sh` files and figure out how to adapt it to MacOS
|
|
> until I can prepare MacOS commands.
|
|
|
|
These commands were last tested on May 2022 on Ubuntu 20.
|
|
|
|
# Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
For the scripts to work, I think these are the bare minimum requirements.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Update your software repositories.
|
|
sudo apt-get update
|
|
sudo apt-get upgrade
|
|
|
|
# Install Git.
|
|
sudo apt-get install -y git
|
|
|
|
# Install Vim.
|
|
sudo apt-get install -y vim
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# Installation
|
|
|
|
### Powerline (and fonts)
|
|
|
|
First, we'll install the font (RobotoMono for Powerline). I'll also install it into VIM, since that
|
|
is my built-in editor of choice (but you don't have to use it).
|
|
|
|
The Powerline fonts also include special characters (like Git branches) that we will use later in
|
|
the terminal profile theme.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./install_powerline.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### ZSH, OhMyZSH and Plugins
|
|
|
|
The shell that I use is "ZSH", with the OhMyZSH upgrade on top of that. To install all of that stuff,
|
|
you can run the helper script (and may need to restart after).
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./install_terminal.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After this, the terminal should look a bit different, but we need to do the next step to have the
|
|
entire theme.
|
|
|
|
### Profile (plugins, theme, font and color)
|
|
|
|
This script will first install two plugins that I like to use: auto-complete and color highlighting.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# You don't need to execute this - it's part of the script already.
|
|
(cd ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins && git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting)
|
|
(cd ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins && git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
It will also copy over the `.zshrc` and `pixegami-agnoster.zsh-theme` files for the
|
|
terminal to use (which will wire up the plugins and the theme).
|
|
|
|
The last command is to create a terminal profile that will set the colors and also set the font
|
|
to be the Powerline one we installed earlier (required for the theme to display correctly).
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./install_profile.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
> You can also change the font to any of the other [Powerline Patched Fonts](https://github.com/powerline/fonts) too if you don't like RobotoMono.
|
|
|
|
If it looks funky after this command, then you might need to wait until the theme is updated with a
|
|
Powerline font (the next step), and may need to also restart your machine.
|
|
|

## Notes
|
|
|
|
How to dump current terminal profiles.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
dconf dump /org/gnome/terminal/legacy/profiles:/ > gnome-terminal-profiles.dconf
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
How to display terminal information (I use [Neofetch](https://github.com/dylanaraps/neofetch)).
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo apt-get install neofetch
|
|
|
|
# Display the profile
|
|
# I override the colors because the default red is kinda ugly in this theme.
|
|
neofetch --ascii_colors 6 7 --colors 2 2 2 2
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## How do I reset the changes back to the old terminal?
|
|
|
|
There's two main modifications being done to the terminal. The terminal theme, and the shell itself.
|
|
|
|
For the theme, here's a thread I found on the internet on how to reset it to the default: https://askubuntu.com/questions/14487/how-to-reset-the-terminal-properties-and-preferences
|
|
|
|
For the terminal shell itself, we actually installed a new terminal (zsh) alongside the default bash. Bash itself wasn't removed, but we just set the default shell to `zsh`. Here is a thread on how to uninstall zsh and default back to bash: https://askubuntu.com/questions/958120/remove-zsh-from-ubuntu-16-04
