typewritten

A minimal zsh prompt

Terminal is iTerm2 — Font is JetBrains Mono — Terminal theme is Seoul256

See how to make your terminal look exactly like the demo here

Features

npm install -g typewritten

That's it. The script will make the necessary symlinks to fpath and set the prompt in your .zshrc.

brew install typewritten

Then load typewritten in your .zshrc by using zsh prompinit:

autoload -U promptinit; promptinit
prompt typewritten

Clone the typewritten repository somewhere you can easily link. I recommend creating a .zsh directory at root.

mkdir -p "$HOME/.zsh"
git clone https://github.com/reobin/typewritten.git "$HOME/.zsh/typewritten"

Load typewritten in your .zshrc by using zsh prompinit:

fpath+=$HOME/.zsh/typewritten
autoload -U promptinit; promptinit
prompt typewritten

Note: if using oh-my-zsh, set ZSH_THEME="" in your .zshrc to disable oh-my-zsh themes.

Many other ways to install typewritten are available in the docs

typewritten is customizable in many ways. To keep the readme file as lean as possible, the documentation was moved to https://typewritten.dev.

The documentation is separated into two parts:
