description: Reference of all Ghostty action subcommands. | ||
editOnGithubLink: https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/tree/main/src/cli | ||
--- | ||
Ghostty includes a number of utility actions that can be accessed as subcommands. | ||
Actions provide utilities to work with config, list keybinds, list fonts, demo themes, | ||
and debug. | ||
## version | ||
The `version` command is used to display information about Ghostty. Recognized as | ||
either `+version` or `--version`. | ||
|
||
``` | ||
ghostty --version | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## help | ||
The `help` command shows general help about Ghostty. Recognized as either | ||
`-h, `--help`, or like other actions `+help`. | ||
|
||
You can also specify `--help` or `-h` along with any action such as | ||
`+list-themes` to see help for a specific action. | ||
|
||
``` | ||
ghostty --help | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## list-fonts | ||
The `list-fonts` command is used to list all the available fonts for | ||
Ghostty. This uses the exact same font discovery mechanism Ghostty uses to | ||
find fonts to use. | ||
|
||
When executed with no arguments, this will list all available fonts, sorted | ||
by family name, then font name. If a family name is given with `--family`, | ||
the sorting will be disabled and the results instead will be shown in the | ||
same priority order Ghostty would use to pick a font. | ||
|
||
Flags: | ||
|
||
* `--bold`: Filter results to specific bold styles. It is not guaranteed | ||
that only those styles are returned. They are only prioritized. | ||
|
||
* `--italic`: Filter results to specific italic styles. It is not guaranteed | ||
that only those styles are returned. They are only prioritized. | ||
|
||
* `--style`: Filter results based on the style string advertised by a font. | ||
It is not guaranteed that only those styles are returned. They are only | ||
prioritized. | ||
|
||
* `--family`: Filter results to a specific font family. The family handling | ||
is identical to the `font-family` set of Ghostty configuration values, so | ||
this can be used to debug why your desired font may not be loading. | ||
|
||
``` | ||
ghostty +list-fonts | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## list-keybinds | ||
The `list-keybinds` command is used to list all the available keybinds for | ||
Ghostty. | ||
|
||
When executed without any arguments this will list the current keybinds | ||
loaded by the config file. If no config file is found or there aren't any | ||
changes to the keybinds it will print out the default ones configured for | ||
Ghostty | ||
|
||
Flags: | ||
|
||
* `--default`: will print out all the default keybinds | ||
|
||
* `--docs`: currently does nothing, intended to print out documentation | ||
about the action associated with the keybinds | ||
|
||
* `--plain`: will disable formatting and make the output more | ||
friendly for Unix tooling. This is default when not printing to a tty. | ||
|
||
``` | ||
ghostty +list-keybinds | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## list-themes | ||
The `list-themes` command is used to preview or list all the available | ||
themes for Ghostty. | ||
|
||
If this command is run from a TTY, a TUI preview of the themes will be | ||
shown. While in the preview, `F1` will bring up a help screen and `ESC` will | ||
exit the preview. Other keys that can be used to navigate the preview are | ||
listed in the help screen. | ||
|
||
If this command is not run from a TTY, or the output is piped to another | ||
command, a plain list of theme names will be printed to the screen. A plain | ||
list can be forced using the `--plain` CLI flag. | ||
|
||
Two different directories will be searched for themes. | ||
|
||
The first directory is the `themes` subdirectory of your Ghostty | ||
configuration directory. This is `$XDG_CONFIG_DIR/ghostty/themes` or | ||
`~/.config/ghostty/themes`. | ||
|
||
The second directory is the `themes` subdirectory of the Ghostty resources | ||
directory. Ghostty ships with a multitude of themes that will be installed | ||
into this directory. On macOS, this directory is the | ||
`Ghostty.app/Contents/Resources/ghostty/themes`. On Linux, this directory | ||
is the `share/ghostty/themes` (wherever you installed the Ghostty "share" | ||
directory). If you're running Ghostty from the source, this is the | ||
`zig-out/share/ghostty/themes` directory. | ||
|
||
You can also set the `GHOSTTY_RESOURCES_DIR` environment variable to point | ||
to the resources directory. | ||
|
||
Flags: | ||
|
||
* `--path`: Show the full path to the theme. | ||
|
||
* `--plain`: Force a plain listing of themes. | ||
|
||
``` | ||
ghostty +list-themes | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## list-colors | ||
The `list-colors` command is used to list all the named RGB colors in | ||
Ghostty. | ||
|
||
``` | ||
ghostty +list-colors | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## list-actions | ||
The `list-actions` command is used to list all the available keybind | ||
actions for Ghostty. These are distinct from the CLI Actions which can | ||
be listed via `+help` | ||
|
||
Flags: | ||
|
||
* `--docs`: will print out the documentation for each action. | ||
|
||
``` | ||
ghostty +list-actions | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## show-config | ||
The `show-config` command shows the current configuration in a valid Ghostty | ||
configuration file format. | ||
|
||
When executed without any arguments this will output the current | ||
configuration that is different from the default configuration. If you're | ||
using the default configuration this will output nothing. | ||
|
||
If you are a new user and want to see all available options with | ||
documentation, run `ghostty +show-config --default --docs`. | ||
|
||
The output is not in any specific order, but the order should be consistent | ||
between runs. The output is not guaranteed to be exactly match the input | ||
configuration files, but it will result in the same behavior. Comments, | ||
whitespace, and other formatting is not preserved from user configuration | ||
files. | ||
|
||
Flags: | ||
|
||
* `--default`: Show the default configuration instead of loading | ||
the user configuration. | ||
|
||
* `--changes-only`: Only show the options that have been changed | ||
from the default. This has no effect if `--default` is specified. | ||
|
||
* `--docs`: Print the documentation above each option as a comment, | ||
This is very noisy but is very useful to learn about available | ||
options, especially paired with `--default`. | ||
|
||
``` | ||
ghostty +show-config | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## validate-config | ||
The `validate-config` command is used to validate a Ghostty config file. | ||
|
||
When executed without any arguments, this will load the config from the default | ||
location. | ||
|
||
Flags: | ||
|
||
* `--config-file`: can be passed to validate a specific target config file in | ||
a non-default location | ||
|
||
``` | ||
ghostty +validate-config | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## show-face | ||
The `show-face` command shows what font face Ghostty will use to render a | ||
specific codepoint. Note that this command does not take into consideration | ||
grapheme clustering or any other Unicode features that might modify the | ||
presentation of a codepoint, so this may show a different font face than | ||
Ghostty uses to render a codepoint in a terminal session. | ||
|
||
Flags: | ||
|
||
* `--cp`: Find the face for a single codepoint. The codepoint may be specified | ||
in decimal (`--cp=65`), hexadecimal (`--cp=0x41`), octal (`--cp=0o101`), or | ||
binary (`--cp=0b1000001`). | ||
|
||
* `--string`: Find the face for all of the codepoints in a string. The | ||
string must be a valid UTF-8 sequence. | ||
|
||
* `--style`: Search for a specific style. Valid options are `regular`, `bold`, | ||
`italic`, and `bold_italic`. | ||
|
||
* `--presentation`: If set, force searching for a specific presentation | ||
style. Valid options are `text` and `emoji`. If unset, the presentation | ||
style of a codepoint will be inferred from the Unicode standard. | ||
|
||
``` | ||
ghostty +show-face | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## crash-report | ||
The `crash-report` command is used to inspect and send crash reports. | ||
|
||
When executed without any arguments, this will list existing crash reports. | ||
|
||
This command currently only supports listing crash reports. Viewing | ||
and sending crash reports is unimplemented and will be added in the future. | ||
|
||
``` | ||
ghostty +crash-report | ||
``` | ||
