Color-Code Terminals

How

  1. Go to Terminal > Settings > Profiles
  2. Select a profile or duplicate an existing one
  3. Click the "Window" tab
  4. Under "Background", choose a color
  5. Name the profile (e.g., "Production - Red")
  6. Use Shell > New Window to open terminals with different profiles

Try this

Create a red profile called "Danger Zone" and a green one called "Safe Zone". Open one of each and notice how easy it is to tell them apart at a glance.

Why it works
