Updates
6/2/2020 - Please read the important notes! If you cloned/downloaded before 6/2/2020, I have updated this repository. Instead of using hyper-init to run commands, I just put them in .bash_profile
Important Notes
- The terminal I use is called Hyper
- If you just want the Python script that displays the word, just look at vocab.py. If you're interested in the Hyper configuration or Bash stuff, keep reading
- I made this on Mac running Bash terminal
- The new macOS Catalina uses Zsh instead of Bash, but I switched back to Bash using Hyper (in the config file, it is on line 108). Please change this accordingly as there are instructions in the file
- On macOS Catalina, switching back to Bash gives an ugly message everytime a new terminal window opens, so I configured
.bash_profileto remove the message. If you never got the message in the first place, you can remove lines 1-3 on the.bash_profile - The code in
.bash_profileis commented. Please look thru and make changes if needed (change the path on the 'vocab' command in the.bash_profileaccording to where you clone/download) - On lines 155-157 of the
.hyper.jsfile, those are the plugins I prefer. - On lines 158-161 of the
.hyper.jsfile, I left cool plugins for you guys to check out
