How to turn your terminal into a gem – a complete guide to customizing the Linux terminal
We take the standard, bare-bones bash and, in one video, transform it into a sophisticated, beautiful, and functional working environment. A new emulator, a new shell, modern utilities instead of the standard ones, a file manager, an IDE in the terminal, and a unified color scheme. Everything is on the keyboard, without a single mouse click.
