Theme 02 of 06 / For people who live in a shell
Terminal theme
A dark shell powers on like a CRT, types the command that would have done what you just did, draws the result and finishes with an exit code. A merge shows a real ASCII commit graph. A failed check glitches and exits with 1.
Try it, right here
This is the real engine from the extension. Pick an event and a mood and the Terminal theme plays over a mock GitHub profile.
Warming up the lights…
Terminal / Pull request merged / Applause
What you’ll see
Every GitHub event maps to one of three moods, and the Terminal theme has its own take on each.
Applause Something went right
- Pull request mergedTypes git merge --no-ff, draws the merge graph, decodes “MERGED”, exit 0
- Repository createdgh repo create, a link, “CREATED”
- Checks passedgh pr checks --watch with a spinner, then “PASSED”
- Release publishedgh release create with the tag, then “RELEASED”
- Issue closedgh issue close, then “CLOSED”
- Site or deploy livegh run watch, then “LIVE”
Farewell Something ended
- Repository deletedgh repo delete, then rm -rf, and the text dissolves into noise
- Pull request closedgh pr close, then “CLOSED”
Alarm Something broke
- Checks failedA red stack, a chromatic glitch on “FAILED”, a shudder and exit 1
