ZeroTTY is a modern terminal emulator designed for speed, efficiency, and cross-platform compatibility. By leveraging the power of Zig and a low-level design, ZeroTTY aims to provide a native, high-performance experience with minimal dependencies.
⚠️ This project is currently in an early stage of development.
Expect bugs, missing features, and fast-moving changes
- Cross-Platform: Runs on Linux, Windows, and macOS.
- Multiple Renderer Backends: Supports Vulkan and OpenGL.
- High Performance: Built for speed and low resource usage.
- Customizable: Configure fonts, colors, and more.
- Minimal Dependencies: A lightweight and focused design.
- Zig: The project is built using the Zig compiler.
- System Libraries: Additional system libraries may be required depending on your OS, chosen windowing system, and rendering backend (e.g.,
X11,xcb,xkbcommon,GLfor Linux).
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/PaNDa2code/zerotty.git
cd zerotty- Build the project:
You can build ZeroTTY with the following command:
zig build -Doptimize=ReleaseSafeThis will build it with the recommend options for your setup.
You can also specify the rendering backend:
# Build with OpenGL renderer
zig build -Doptimize=ReleaseSafe -Drender-backend=opengl
# Build with Vulkan renderer
zig build -Doptimize=ReleaseSafe -Drender-backend=vulkanAlso the window backend:
zig build -Dwindow-system=glfw- Run ZeroTTY:
After a successful build, the executable will be located in the zig-out/bin directory.
