Added

  • Opal Terminal, opal's own terminal app
    (terminal/): tabs and split panes, inline images,
    quick select, a command palette over the shared history, desktop
    notifications, session restore and a settings page. Release archives for
    Windows, macOS and Linux on x86_64 and ARM64. So far it has only been used
    on Windows.
  • Opal Bash: on Windows, Opal Terminal comes with its own bash. It's
    MSYS2's bash with coreutils, grep, sed, gawk, findutils, diffutils, less,
    tar, gzip and which. It starts with its own startup file and history
    instead of ~/.bashrc, so it's separate from your other shells, and new
    tabs open it unless shell names another. Each release carries the source
    of its packages.
  • The install scripts install Opal Terminal too: with a Start menu shortcut
    on Windows, in ~/Applications on macOS, and with a menu entry on Linux
    desktops. OPAL_NO_TERMINAL=1 leaves it out.
  • opal terminal opens Opal Terminal in the current folder.
  • On macOS, Opal Terminal gives shells a UTF-8 locale when it's opened from
    Finder or the Dock, which start apps without one. It finds a shell's
    working directory without opal's prompt, plays the alert sound for
    bell = "sound", and bounces the Dock icon when a background window wants
    attention.
  • Opal Terminal's command palette lists the aliases and functions opal
    defines in the pane's shell, from the enabled plugins and your config,
    after its own actions. Enter types one at the prompt and Shift+Enter runs
    it; starting the query with $ lists only those.

Downloads

The install scripts pick the right file for you (see the README).

System File
Windows (x64 / ARM64) opal_windows_amd64.zip / opal_windows_arm64.zip
macOS (Intel / Apple Silicon) opal_darwin_amd64.tar.gz / opal_darwin_arm64.tar.gz
Linux (x86_64 / ARM64) opal_linux_amd64.tar.gz / opal_linux_arm64.tar.gz

The binaries aren't code-signed. To check that a download was built from this repository, compare it with SHA256SUMS.txt or run gh attestation verify <file> --repo gjnail/opal.

Opal Terminal

The install scripts install it next to opal unless you pass -NoTerminal (PowerShell) or set OPAL_NO_TERMINAL=1 (sh).

System File
Windows (x64 / ARM64) opal-terminal_windows_amd64.zip / opal-terminal_windows_arm64.zip
macOS (Intel / Apple Silicon) opal-terminal_darwin_amd64.tar.gz / opal-terminal_darwin_arm64.tar.gz
Linux (x86_64 / ARM64) opal-terminal_linux_amd64.tar.gz / opal-terminal_linux_arm64.tar.gz

On Windows it comes with Opal Bash, MSYS2's bash and Unix tools, kept separate from any other bash; opal-terminal_shell-sources.tar has their source.

Checksums are in opal-terminal_SHA256SUMS.txt. The macOS app has an ad-hoc signature rather than a Developer ID one, so a copy downloaded with a browser needs xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "Opal Terminal.app" (or Open Anyway under System Settings > Privacy & Security) before it opens. The Linux build needs the Wayland or X11, xkbcommon and EGL libraries that desktop systems already have.
