ghostty

The ghostty target updates Ghostty config and reloads running Ghostty processes. For built-in themes, it maps to existing Ghostty theme names.

This page is generated from the adapter plan used by otheme set vesper --dry-run. Paths are shown exactly as otheme prints them; ~ means your home directory.

Compatibility

Author and map modes. In author mode, otheme writes a Ghostty theme file and sets theme = otheme-<theme-id>. In map mode, it sets theme = <mapTo> to use an existing Ghostty theme name. The built-in themes currently use map mode.
