How to Configure Kitty Terminal

  $ cp -al kitty/ ~/.config/
  

• zsh

  • Install Oh My Zsh:

    $ sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)"
    

  • Install plugins:

    $ git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-history-substring-search.git ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins/zsh-history-substring-search
    $ git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting.git ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins/zsh-syntax-highlighting
    $ git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions.git ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins/zsh-autosuggestions
    

  • Edit ~/.zshrc
    • Choose the theme you want. I will use gnzh:

      ZSH_THEME="gnzh"
      

    • Add plugins:

      plugins=(git command-not-found zsh-history-substring-search zsh-syntax-highlighting zsh-autosuggestions)
      

    • I like to use some custom aliases and functions:

      # kitty aliases
      alias kimg="kitty +kitten icat"
      alias kdiff="kitty +kitten diff"
      alias kdiffg="git difftool --no-symlinks --dir-diff"
      
      UPDATE(){
          sudo pacman -Syy
          sudo pacman -Syu
          yay -Syy
          yay -Syu
          flatpak update
          sudo snap refresh
      }
      

    • Enable neofetch to be displayed every time you open the terminal. Just calls neofetch on .zshrc.

• Integrating kitty diff with git

  • Add the following to ~/.gitconfig:

    [diff]
        tool = kitty
        guitool = kitty.gui
    [difftool]
        prompt = false
        trustExitCode = true
    [difftool "kitty"]
        cmd = kitten diff $LOCAL $REMOTE
    [difftool "kitty.gui"]
        cmd = kitten diff $LOCAL $REMOTE
    

• Install neofetch theme:

  $ cp ~/.config/neofetch/config.conf ~/.config/neofetch/config.conf.bkp
  $ git clone https://github.com/Chick2D/neofetch-themes/
  $ cat neofetch-themes/normal/config2.conf > ~/.config/neofetch/config.conf
  $ rm -rf neofetch-themes
  

  • You can set a different ascii distro logo in ~/.config/neofetch/config.conf. I like ascii_distro="windows7".
