## Installation

Install the ghostty package.

## Configuration

Note See ghostty(5) or Ghostty official documentation for a more in-depth look.

The configuration file, `config`, is loaded from these locations in the following order. Configuration is optional and if no configuration file is found, Ghostty will use its defaults.

1. `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/ghostty/config`
2. `$HOME/.config/ghostty/config` if XDG_CONFIG_HOME is not defined

The full default configuration, `ghostty +show-config --default --docs`. Best viewed with the `less` command.

    $ ghostty +show-config --default --docs | less
