Last year, HashiCorp co-founder Mitchell Hashimoto surprised everyone by launching GhosTTY, a terminal emulator that instantly became a hit in the developer world.
I never got the hype for “yet another terminal”… until I actually tried it. And now finally get it.
GhosTTY is seemingly inspired from Kitty, another awesome terminal but does a few things different/better than most other terminals out there.
In this video, I walk you through some of my favorite GhosTTY features that make it so special. From its pre-configured nerd font support to its clever tab overview, customizable key bindings, and image display right inside your terminal!
💡 What you’ll discover:
- How GhosTTY just works out-of-the-box (no endless tweaking)
- Super-simple config system (with local offline docs!)
- Smart tab management & window splits like Terminator
- Performable key bindings that adapt like magic
- Automatic light/dark theme switching
- And even real image rendering inside your terminal
If you’ve ever wanted a fast, minimal, and surprisingly fun terminal that “just works”, you’ll want to see this.
