Color scheme for your terminal

Gogh is a collection of color schemes for various terminal emulators, including Gnome Terminal, Pantheon Terminal, Tilix, and XFCE4 Terminal. These schemes are designed to make your terminal more visually appealing and improve your productivity by providing a better contrast and color differentiation.

The inspiration for Gogh came from the clean and minimalistic design of Elementary OS, but the project has since grown to include a variety of unique and beautiful options. Not only does Gogh work on Linux systems, but it's also compatible with iTerm on macOS, providing a consistent and visually appealing experience across platforms.

⚙️ Pre-Install

In your terminal type:

Debian/Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install dconf-cli uuid-runtime

Arch Linux

sudo pacman -S dconf util-linux-libs

You can now install in interactive mode (easy) or non-interactive mode (ideal for scripting)

📦 Install

Interactive mode

1. Just copy and paste this one-line command:

bash -c "$(wget -qO- https://git.io/vQgMr)"

Or, if you are a Mac user:

bash -c "$(curl -sLo- https://git.io/vQgMr)"

2. Select the color theme installed from the terminal

# necessary in the Alacritty terminal
pip install -r requirements.txt

TERMINAL=gnome-terminal # Select for which terminal to install the theme
                        # (see apply-colors.sh for all supported terminals)
GOGH_NONINTERACTIVE= # Make output silent and answer all prompts with default value
                     # (errors will still be printed)

🖼️ How to create your own theme

Good news! Contributing with new themes is now easier and less intimidating.

You just need to create a YAML format file, following the example of the other files in the themes folder.

Please keep in mind a few simple rules.

• The file name should match the name of the theme. For example:
  • Filename: Adventure Time.yml
  • Inside the .yml file: name: 'Adventure Time'
• Use title case for all words by capitalizing their first letter.
• Ensure that the contrast is sufficient for good legibility.

Now you can send Pull Request.

Thank you!
