macos-terminal-themes VS ohmyzsh

You can change the specific color shades to something nicer, but keep the color mapping the same (1=red, 2=green etc.), just like most of these themes: https://github.com/lysyi3m/macos-terminal-themes

Now, I've downloaded a load of colorschemes(https://github.com/lysyi3m/macos-terminal-themes), they were in my ~/Downloads first but I've sinced moved the whole master folder to ~. The instructions are to go into themes and open any Example.terminal file, which opens a terminal window with those colours, then go to "Shell" > "Use settings as default". When I do this, or even if I don't do this, I'm not allowed to use the ls command from the ~/Downloads directory at all. Even when I close this, as I did open it as a .terminal file, and reopen the app, when I try ls ~/Downloads I just get:

If you want to reverse the colors so the text is white with a black background (like in a lot of Linux distros) you can press cmd , to open the preferences then select I believe it is called the pro theme and then click on make default. I use the Homebrew theme which is green on black (because it reminds me of my first Linux computer (a raspi 3b)). Though GitHub has a ton of color schemes https://github.com/lysyi3m/macos-terminal-themes I believe you just open the file and it installs to terminal and you can enable it be same way I said earlier.

You can play around with the colours in the Terminal Profiles yourself but I would suggest going with a pre-made theme because they will have considered the constrast and readability of the colours in different scenarios. Here's a list of cool MacOS Terminal Themes.

hah. stay away from r/unixporn. change can be good though. people always like to look at something new, different, and flashy. try a different font? my favorite is Input, with Nerd Font glyphs applied. Look for a new theme, i personally use material-dark. and then you can spend hours tweaking a prompt. powerline10k is my go-to prompt-construction-set.

Any colors that suit you. I think dark background is better for your eyes. Your can try more color schemes here. You can use iTerms2 as an alternative to default terminal

That’s the minimum terminal setup. You can modify the look and add plugins such as autocompletion to your terminal by installing ohmyzsh and using themes such as powerlevel10k. I am already using them.

Somewhat related is "Oh My ZSH!" which is basically zsh on steroids, it's always one of the first things I install on a new computer. It gives things like new colors, themes, plugins, and more. Highly recommend you check it out.

I had just gone through a fun tutorial for setting up oh-my-zsh with a nice color scheme from iterm2colorschemes.com and a decent prompt and I was wondering: can I make my oblique strategy look nice? how can you actually use the colors from your scheme in the output in your cli?

After this you going to visit Oh-My-Zsh which is where the magic will happen.

after automating my dotfiles, I want to automate my installations, after that I want to make my terminal easier to use so I add OMZ with many plugins, after that, I try to automate the backup of my setting on my Gnome but failed, then try using git-lfs for my big files but it turned out to be idiotic moves, bla bla bla many try and fail.

ZShell is an alternative to bash a.k.a. "Bourne-Again SHell". It does everything that bash does and just like Tmux it is extensible via a healthy plugin ecosystem. By this point I hope you have already tried to run zsh on your terminal. At first it won't look like much has changed but with the right plugins this can become your best friend on the command line. The first thing we need to do is to install oh-my-zsh, a framework on top of zsh that manages configs, plugins, themes, and more.
