Installation

Ghostty isn’t available as a prebuilt FreeBSD package yet. omfreebdy includes a local port overlay that builds it from source:

cd ~/.omfreebdy/ports/x11/ghostty
sudo make install clean

This requires zig 0.14 and builds against GTK4 with Wayland and X11 support.

Configuration

Config lives at ~/.config/ghostty/config.

Key Settings

Setting	Value
Font	JetBrainsMono Nerd Font, size 14

Theme Integration

Ghostty has 430+ built-in themes. The theme-set script maps each omfreebdy theme to the best matching Ghostty theme and live-reloads via SIGUSR2:

tokyo-night	TokyoNight
gruvbox	Gruvbox Dark
catppuccin	Catppuccin Mocha
nord	Nord
rose-pine	Rose Pine
kanagawa	Kanagawa Wave
