Ghostty

Install

Fedora

Either use Terra or Copr. I recently ran into problems with the Copr version, so I switched to Terra.

Terra

Make sure it is Setup, then

dnf install ghostty

Copr

sudo dnf copr enable pgdev/ghostty
sudo dnf install ghostty

I also need to install my currently used font package Iosevka inside WSL, otherwise Ghostty will fall back to its included JetBrains Mono font.

Themes

Themes should come pre-packaged. However especially under Fedora, there seems to be some packaging issues. The following script should download the missing themes.

ghostty-themes.sh

#!/bin/bash
 
mkdir -p ~/.config/ghostty/themes && \
tmpdir=$(mktemp -d) && \
git clone --depth 1 --filter=blob:none --sparse https://github.com/mbadolato/iTerm2-Color-Schemes.git "$tmpdir" && \
cd "$tmpdir" && \
git sparse-checkout set ghostty && \
rsync -a ghostty/ ~/.config/ghostty/themes/ && \
cd ~
rm -rf "$tmpdir"
