My minimal Ghostty config

1 min read

I've been using Ghostty as my main terminal for a week or so at this point (late to the party, I know!).

I like to keep my tools fairly minimalistic, but consistent. That normally means:

  • A light theme
  • A nice monospace font
  • Breathing room between lines and the window

Ghostty's configuration system is insanely simple, especially compared to iTerm's deeply nested input fields. Here's my config and a screenshot for reference.

theme = GitHub Light Default

font-family = JetBrains Mono
font-size = 14
font-thicken = true
font-feature = -liga

adjust-cell-height = 20 

window-padding-x = 20
window-padding-y = 20
