Ghostty: New Open Source Terminal That’s Spookily Good

Ghostty is a new open-source, cross-platform terminal emulator created by Mitchell Hashimoto, co-founder of HashiCorp. Featuring a platform-native GUI, Ghostty leverages GPU acceleration and offers a range of modern features including fast startup times, support for multiple windows, tabs, and split panes, GPU-accelerated rendering, and extensive theming capabilities. On Linux, it uses GTK4/libadwaita for its interface and can be compiled from source. Users can install it on macOS via a ready-to-run binary or on Linux by compiling it from source.
