pitty

A small Wayland-native terminal emulator.

The name is a portmanteau of pi (small) and tty, because it's a little terminal. Also happens to be a misspelling of pity.

features

• Everything a basic terminal needs
• such as rendering text to your screen
• Optional SIXEL rendering (cargo build --features sixel)

anti-features

• Wayland only
• No GPU rendering
• Configuration is editing src/config.rs and rebuilding
• Does not run on Windows or macOS

configuration

Edit src/config.rs for font size, cell dimensions, colors, word delimiters, and so on.

Runtime color overrides are supported via ~/.config/pitty/config:

foreground=#ebdbb2
background=#1d2021
color4=#458588

Everything else requires a rebuild.

build

make          # release build
make debug    # debug build
make run      # build and run
make install  # /usr/local/bin/pitty

Requires you to have Rust & Cargo installed.
