Ghostty Terminal Setup

Set up a complete Ghostty terminal environment on a fresh Mac. Requires Homebrew to be installed first.

Instructions

Run the setup script:

bash ~/ghostty-setup/setup.sh

After the script finishes:

1. Verify there were no errors in the output

2. Remind the user to restart Ghostty completely (quit and reopen)

3. Tell them about the key shortcuts:

   • `Ctrl+`` — quick terminal from anywhere
   • Cmd+D / Cmd+Shift+D — split right / split down
   • Cmd+Option+Arrows — navigate splits
   • Cmd+Shift+Enter — zoom/unzoom split
   • Ctrl+R — fuzzy search history (fzf)
   • Option+C — fuzzy cd (fzf)
   • z <name> — smart cd (zoxide)
   • Option+Click — move cursor on command line
   • Option+Enter — newline without executing

4. Tell them about the installed tools:

   • lazygit — terminal git UI
   • yazi — terminal file manager
   • btop — system monitor
   • dust — disk usage
   • rg "term" — fast code search (ripgrep)
   • ls / ll / lt — eza with icons
   • cat — bat with syntax highlighting

5. Note: the starship config disables AWS, gcloud, kubernetes, docker, golang, nodejs, package, status, and git_status modules. They can re-enable any in ~/.config/starship.toml

6. Note: git-delta is configured for side-by-side diffs. Works automatically in git diff and lazygit.

7. Note: Claudeception is installed — it auto-saves non-obvious discoveries as reusable skills. Trigger manually with /claudeception.

If something fails, troubleshoot it. The most common issue is Homebrew not being installed.
