Ghostty Config is a beautiful web-based configuration generator designed to make customizing your Ghostty terminal effortless. Rather than manually editing text files and worrying about formatting and syntax, Ghostty Config allows you to visually adjust settings, preview changes in real time and export a ready-to-use config.

This project is built with Svelte + TypeScript via Bun. It is automatically deployed with GitHub Actions so the hosted version is always up to date.
