![]() Note I use macOS, so this series will be written for macOS users. In this guide, I will walk through some of the different emulators and shells I have worked with, and take a look into which could be right for you. Luckily, there are tons of ways to tailor your terminal to perfectly match your workflow and aesthetic preferences. If you are anything like me, it didn’t take a long time before you started customizing your terminal. The shell is a program that takes input from the user in the form of text and hands it to the operating system to perform. This is a program that opens a window and allows us to interact with the shell. What is often referred to as the terminal is a terminal emulator. Also referred to as the command line, or Command Line Interface (CLI), it is our way of speaking directly to the computer. ![]() At this point, we're ready to continue the series.The terminal is usually one of the first things that a new programmer learns how to use. We'll see the Terminal window is wider, which confirms that it has picked up our new preferences. Now, I'll close the "Preferences" window, close this terminal window, and click "Shell" from the menu and click "New Window". Those are all the changes that'll make to the preferences, but feel free to look through the rest and make the changes that you think will help you out. This will just allow me to scroll back through more of my previous commands when I'm working in the terminal.
