Color Scheme for Mac terminal iterm2

When we open the terminal or iterm2 terminal, the default black and white make people feel tasteless, and using Vim on the terminal is also a bit gloomy. This seriously affects our interest in terminal development. This article explains in detail how to enable the color mode and collects some useful color schemes for your selection.

Step 1Use your favorite editor to open the. pash_profile file .~ /. Bash_profile is the configuration file of the current logon user in bash shell. Bash is the default shell in "terminal.

You can use the following command to open it at Terminal:

$ Vim ~ /. Bash_profile

ThenCodeCopy to this file.

# Enables colorin the terminal bash shell Export

Clicolor = 1

# Sets up thecolor scheme for list Export

Lscolors = gxfxcxdxbxegedabagacad

# Sets up theprompt color (currently a green similar to Linux terminal)

Exportps1 = '\ [\ 033 [01; 32m \] \ U @ \ H \ [\ 033 [00m \]: \ [\ 033 [01; 36m \] \ W \ [\ 033 [00m \] \ $'
