What gets installed

/Applications/BetterTerminal.app — the whole app, self-contained. Your settings live in ~/Library/Application Support/BetterTerminal.

First launch

Because this build is not signed with a paid Apple Developer certificate, macOS will warn you the first time. To open it:

You only have to do this once.

How to use it

Type English in the ✨ bar“locate to desktop”, “what is in this folder?”, “make a folder called homework”
Cmd-/jump to the plain-English bar
Cmd-Eshow or hide the bar
Cmd-T / Cmd-Dnew tab / split the window
Cmd-Fsearch everything you have scrolled past
Cmd-Shift-Pcommand palette (themes, settings, everything)

Real commands work exactly as they always have — the English bar only helps when you need it.
