These profiles bring the base16 colors to the Terminal of macOS.
Just open the downloaded profiles folder in the Finder (or profiles-256 if your Terminal
supports the ANSI-256 colorspace), select the profiles you want to install, right-click on the files
and click Open. (Otherwise, Gatekeeper might complain.)
Since .terminal files contain a bunch of settings in addition to the color definitions, you
probably want these profiles to inherit all settings from a profile of your choice.
-
Download my fork of the base16 Builder.
-
In Terminal, choose Shell > Export Settings… and save the file into the folder you just downloaded. (You can also export profiles in the Profiles section of the Preferences window.)
-
Execute the following commands. (Replace “MyProfile” with the name of your profile.)
cd ~/Downloads/base16-builder-php-master # the folder you downloaded in step 1
composer install # depends on your Composer setup
php Builder.php update
php Builder.php -p "MyProfile.terminal"
cd templates/terminal-app/profiles # or profiles-256 if your Terminal supports the ANSI 256 colorspace
open *.terminal # or whichever profiles you like
For this screenshot, I used Tomorrow Night with DejaVu Sans Mono for Powerline (12pt) as font, along with Prezto (my favorite Zsh configuration framework).
Tip: You can also download my personally customized set of profiles, which use exactly this font and come with a few improvements over the default profiles, such as a pretty complete list of bindings for modifier keys (taken from this GitHub repository).
