Customize the Terminal

In the past I installed different Terminals. e.g. Warp is a good choice. But as I don't need to do a ton of fancy stuff through the Terminal, the default app is fine enough.

But here's a simple way to customize it.

1. Install Oh my zsh - https://ohmyz.sh/
2. Follow the instruction details
3. Customize the Terminal with a Theme (e.g. AdventureTime theme I found somehwere attached) in the settings
4. Downdload Theme
5. Open Temrminal Settings Profile
6. Click + to install the Theme you want

Customize Raycast

Okay, most of the day-to-day gets done in Raycast. Set that up. Replace Spotlight with Raycast Apply all the shortcuts you want to Raycast. Enjoy life!
