How to install

Three steps in your device's terminal. Every command is exactly what you type; copy it, paste it, press Enter.

  1. Put the HackerBlue program on your device

    Linux or macOS: Terminal
    curl -fsSL https://hackerblue.dev/install.sh | sh
    Windows: PowerShell
    irm https://hackerblue.dev/install.ps1 | iex

  2. Sign in

    Terminal
    hackerblue login

    A page opens in your browser; sign in to your Hacker Blue account and choose Approve.

  3. Install the Ghostty theme

    Terminal
    hackerblue install ghostty

    Reload Ghostty's config with Ctrl+Shift+, (Cmd+Shift+, on macOS), or restart it.

A theme file of yours with the same name is never overwritten.

Updates come with your licence: hackerblue update ghostty when a newer version is out. hackerblue uninstall ghostty removes it and restores your previous theme selection, keeping your later settings edits. Every command, and the rest of the guide: the install guide.

Ghostty, default and in HackerBlue

The same view twice. The switch changes only the theme.

Ghostty with its default theme: a slate grey window with a git status and the sixteen terminal colours in their default tints. Ghostty with HackerBlue: the same session on a deep navy window, with steel-blue text, muted red and sand status markers and a cyan cursor.

Ghostty 1.3.1 running on Linux, the same session in its stock default look and in HackerBlue. Captured from the running app in a throwaway config.

Ghostty belongs to its owner; Hacker Blue is not affiliated with or endorsed by it.

The theme

HackerBlue for Ghostty is a theme in Ghostty's own format, the kind ghostty +list-themes lists. It sets the text and background, the selection and cursor, and the sixteen terminal colours, so programs that draw in colour look right on it.

It sets colours only: your font, opacity, layout and key bindings are never touched, and any colour you set yourself in your config still wins over the theme. It is a dark theme.
