I like it! Mine is a bit different because I use everything on the terminal; I use it as my text editor, I use it as a file-manager, system-manager, ect. I use fish as my shell and alacritty as my emulator. They're pretty different so that's why I enjoyed watching your config.
I am using Airplane theme for almost more than 4 years now and still my goto OZSH theme + FiraCode font. For my plugins, these are standard for me on any setup: git, zsh-syntax-highlighting, zsh-autosuggestion, colorize and jump
Awesome video! Love the in depth explanations. Just wanted to let others know that Fig is now with Amazon Q which combines AI as well. Just now trying it out but looks super fun!
I really wanted to use Hyper, it looks great, i tried, but because the fact that it uses Electron, it is slow (at least on my PC). One of the annoyances is when i was about to close the window and the program just crash and i had to manually kill the process. Not only that, but with Edge, VS Code and Hyper opened, that's pretty much 3 whole browsers consuming entirely my 8GBs of RAM.
If you want the sort of intellisense I'd recommend using fish instead. Id build autocompletion for everything based on your man.db (internal manual pages) and you can also add custom auto completions by injecting custom stuff
Awesome video! Would love to see a new Svelte video, I know that Vite is the build tool used now, and would love to have a step by step walkthrough on setting up a new Svelte project from scratch.
Interesting. Are you looking for how to setup a new project or build a project. For setup, I would use the npm command "npm create svelte@latest my-app"
@@JamesQQuick I actually figured it out. I used the same command that you gave me. Regardless, I would still love more Svelte videos 😂 keep up the great work
Nice video. This stuff is down to preference. FYI Fish shell give features like Fig plus a lot more out of box. Terminals, suggest Kitty or Alacritty 2 of the hottest right now. Advance Prompt, suggest Starship
Fish's autocomplete can't replace Fig, because: 1. Fig has better interface; 2. Fig is intelligent: it can autocomplete npm scripts in YOUR project; YOUR running docker containers, existing images etc.; installed brew packages and running processes; git commands; and a lot of other intelligent stuff; 3. It's not an autocomplete only tool anymore. Fig became an app that can customize your shell; save/update/load your dotfiles; contribute to autocompletions or create your own local autocompletions.
@@StrikerFeed Sure Fig is great, I just was saying Fish has something’s out of the box that are nice. Can’t really compare a shell with the Fig app, 2 different things.
I tried hyper and didn't like it since only benifit I found from using it is that the configuration is really straight forward. It's kinda slow and uses a lot of ram since is electron based. Right I'm using WezTerm since its fast, cross platform (I use Windows and Linux), written in rust (the godsend of programming languages) and REALLY customizable.
and what's the difference from a standard terminal utility? OR you can install Iterm2 and configure all the options from the UI in a few seconds + install zsh + oh-my-zsh + powerlevel10k + zsh autocomplete plugin and that's it iterm2 has much more support, faster, more customizable, packed with a lot of features
Amazing video. I tried using Hyper, but my Macbook Pro is a 2012 model and it didn't work well. The machine gets too hot, but I bought a MacBook Air M1 and I will test it again, I will use your video as a base. Thanks for sharing!
If you're on a mac, I can't recommend iTerm enough. Probably a competitor to Hyper, and as I'm not familiar with Hyper, so I can't make an apples to oranges comparison. Might make a good video!
Also you can change configure the path for any them using the prompt_dir() function. I also dislike having the full path. I usually like to have only the current dir or current and parent only. I used the following code to do parent/current for the agnoster theme prompt_dir() { prompt_segment blue $CURRENT_FG '%2~' }
Terminal, the last thing I need the entire Chrome browser for How in the world you find your self completely fine using an entire browser just for running few terminal commands
How do you get the autocomplete directories as shown at 7:12? My installation doesn't have that. Answer after watching the rest of the video - Fig, but looks like its Linux version is still in closed beta.
I like this, but if I run a linux based system I'd rather use the fish shell, oh-my-fish and use bass to get nvm going with fish (cus nvm is not supported on fish by default)
I use volta, it's my goto replacement for nvm because for me personally nvm feels slow and missing a lot of features. And fish + oh-my-fish is what I use, replacing my old zsh setup
Helpful video I’ve tried to customize the terminal or third parties ones and it’s a mess. For the background transparency the default is good for that because in preferences you can change the color the transparency and the blur I think so I stick with it and fig
Hey now I'm kinda more curious about vite. Would there be a possibility to implement either vite or parcel or something like that into a existing mithrilJS application (not my choice of framework, but I just started as a jr fullstack dev here and they've been expanding this web-app for the last 9 years).
As some extra info, they used to run gulp and code in visual studio (no clue why, even our boss doesnt know why they went for that) so I build a custom dev, dev+watch and js+css bundler in an hour to replace it and allow me and my coworkers to use vscode instead. But its def not perfect and I was curious about a more polished solution for this.
How to open hyper terminal in current directory ???? if in current directory i put cmd it opens it in current directory but not the same case with hyper
After you hear the app is based on electron you should stop the video because someone trying to tell you how cool the app on the one of the slowest engine in the world. For example the IDE - ATOM. It’s the child who was born deadly. Like the other apps on the electoron.
OMZ just try to sell you t-shirts and shit, when you only need 8-10 lines of code to do exactly the same (but you don’t get all the bloat). Ohhh my zhit sucks.
@@JamesQQuick Hahah totally happens. And you are so right about this terminal customization being confusing. A few weeks ago I messed up a setting and it took me over an hour to get my terminal back to how I had it previously. I now keep a copy of my .zshrc file handy in case that happens again. haha. Thanks for the video!
@@alexmaldonado7209 Such a good idea. Where do you keep your copies btw? I know a lot of people do Github repos. I feel like I should do that at some point
@@JamesQQuick Ahh github repo would be a great idea. That way I have access to it whether I am on a work or personal machine. I just keep mine in the notes app on mac haha but I may put things like that in a repo. Thanks for that idea!
great video dude. just be careful because a person new to programming and development can get lost in all the tools, tooling, and apps and never get any work done. just learn your language/framework first before customizing your tools. how about just use Warp terminal or the built-in terminal in vscode?
oof. cwd. i felt embarrased for you. you make a whole video on how to make your terminal emulator/shell pretty but you're barely competent actually using it.
'cd' without any dot or parameter brings you always back to home.
Hyper is EXACTLY the minimalism I was searching for.
lol🤣🤣🤣
too bad its electron
try st if you want minimalism, lmao
I like it! Mine is a bit different because I use everything on the terminal; I use it as my text editor, I use it as a file-manager, system-manager, ect.
I use fish as my shell and alacritty as my emulator. They're pretty different so that's why I enjoyed watching your config.
Nice, I use basically the same things except for using it file managing because it's hard to rewire my brain to not think of it as graphical folders
I am using Airplane theme for almost more than 4 years now and still my goto OZSH theme + FiraCode font. For my plugins, these are standard for me on any setup: git, zsh-syntax-highlighting, zsh-autosuggestion, colorize and jump
I love “Oh My ZSH”! Great video and I found some new fun stuff to try out!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I was an Hyper user until MS released the new Command Prompt. It is very good.
6:05 I think you are looking for "pwd" :)
Awesome video! Love the in depth explanations. Just wanted to let others know that Fig is now with Amazon Q which combines AI as well. Just now trying it out but looks super fun!
FYI it's `pwd`, not `cwd`. I think you were having a little Python moment there.
bahahaha did I really?!?! OMGOSH hahaha Thanks for putting up with me :)
To reload ZSH configration, run `source ~/.zshrc`
I know it was something liek that lol

Thanks Kelvin!!
Fig looks very interesting!
`fig` is electron, monitor your terminal and eat at least 1GB memory. TAB completion is fast, local, and up-to-date. No need to use `fig` at all!
and what's the difference from a standard terminal utility?
OR you can install Iterm2 and configure all the options from the UI in a few seconds
+ install zsh + oh-my-zsh + powerlevel10k + zsh autocomplete plugin
and that's it
iterm2 has much more support, faster, more customizable, packed with a lot of features
Thanks James! Really helpful

If you're on a mac, I can't recommend iTerm enough. Probably a competitor to Hyper, and as I'm not familiar with Hyper, so I can't make an apples to oranges comparison. Might make a good video!
Also, it's okay if you want to pronounce "zsh" as "zish." 😄
I've used iTerm before and enjoyed it. I honestly don't know how they compare to much specifically but definitely enjoying hyper as well
that just feels weird to me lol
Nah, man. Terminal in electron is the last thing I want my terminal to be
Nerd fonts is all one need
one of the cool things is..."that its build with electron" like.. it is a feature and not a major limitation. lol
Also you can change configure the path for any them using the prompt_dir() function. I also dislike having the full path. I usually like to have only the current dir or current and parent only. I used the following code to do parent/current for the agnoster theme

You wanted to use "pwd" not "cwd" to know the current folder you're in.
Helpful video I’ve tried to customize the terminal or third parties ones and it’s a mess. For the background transparency the default is good for that because in preferences you can change the color the transparency and the blur I think so I stick with it and fig

How do you get the folder in the bottom left corner with the branch your on in the right corner ?
oh i see - the plugin - "Status Line Plugin"
Just use Warp

Cool!
Btw I just want to tell you that I always watch your videos and benefit from almost all of them!

Euwww electron, better stay away out of my rust terminal
lmao whatever works for you!
Apple changed to zsh not because It's popular but for copyrights/legal stuff.
does customization for windows 11 has how???
When are u gonna do another live ??
Live stream? I'll be doing a lot more starting in October!
Fig only available for Mac os currently 😑
On its way for Windows and Linux :)
The real chad uses Linux
can for wwindows
imagine using electron based terminal
I don't have to imagine...it's what I use :)
