Customizing linux terminal

Here you'll learn how to customize your linux terminal

Prerequisites:

• A terminal, Obviously 😄 (I'll be using Gnome terminal as an example).
• Starship installed, if you don't have it installed, learn how to install starship.
• Shell color scripts, I'm using Derek Taylor's configs.
• Fortune and lolcat.

And now let's get started:

1. Open your terminal and type:

nano .bashrc

• Then hit enter and past the following lines at the end of your .bashrc:

colorscript -r
fortune | lolcat -g ba50a1:8350ba -h 1 -v 1

2. After setting up everything correctly you should get something like this after relaunching your terminal:

3. Now you need to configure your starship's config file:

• Open up a terminal window and type

git clone https://github.com/rayenghanmi/dotfiles.git

• Then:

cd dotfiles/

cp starship.toml ~/.config/starship.toml

Important

Keep in mind that you need to use a Nerd font on your terminal for the starship customizations to work.

4. Relaunch your terminal and everything should be ok:
