This repository holds all the configuration and instructions needed to make your terminal cool and functional like mine! I have also included any other plugins that I have installed which I find useful.

If there's anything you want to change to make it fit how you want it, just go ahead and change the config files as you please.

Note: All elements within the terminal have been enlarged for demo purposes.
