I am a web developer and I am amazed at how they made such a powerful terminal.

Okay enough of talking, let's see how to config the hyper terminal.

Connect hyper to bash

We have to connect hyper to bash to use bash shell commands in it.

I assume that you have Git for Windows installed. if you don't, follow this guide. With that done, follow the steps:

• hyper automatically add PATH to your environmental variables, check if they exist or not, and restart your PC after installing Hyper.
• If PATH is not set then set by clicking the top left burger menu (☰) ⟹ Plugins ⟹ install Hyper CLI command in PATH.
• Now, we just have to copy-paste the settings, from here.

• After coping open hyper then press ctrl + , (comma) or you can go to the top left burger menu (☰) ⟹ Edit ⟹ Preferences.
• Select all and paste the copied settings. And kaboom 💥 , you have successfully config hyper with git bash.

Beautify hyper (Installing basic plugins)

• Install the beautiful theme of your choice, check out all the themes. hyper install [theme name].
• Add beautiful borders hyper install hyperborder.
• Make hyper transparent hyper install hyper-opacity.
• Add icon to new tabs hyper install hyper-tab-icons.
