One-command macOS Terminal.app bootstrap — Zsh, Starship, fzf, tmux, and dev tools for AI-assisted workflows.
The terminal-setup project bootstraps a productive macOS Terminal.app environment with a single command. It installs and configures a modern shell setup — fish-like autosuggestions, syntax highlighting, fzf fuzzy finder, and a Starship prompt — so you get a polished terminal experience without hours of manual dotfile tweaking.
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dmythro/terminal-setup/main/install.sh)"The install script is idempotent: running it again updates everything without duplicating configuration. It sets up a 50,000-line shell history with smart search, configures tmux for session management, and applies a carefully tuned color scheme and font setup for Terminal.app.
Beyond the shell basics, the setup optionally installs development tools — Bun, Node.js via fnm, and common CLI utilities. Each optional component can be skipped, so you can use it as a full dev machine bootstrap or just grab the shell configuration.
The project is designed for fresh macOS installs and pairs well with dotfile backup workflows. Everything is version-controlled and documented, making it easy to reproduce the same environment across multiple machines.
