Importing settings

If you want to use the settings from another system, you can import a Terminal settings file from that system.

The file name of the Terminal settings file usually ends with an extension of “.terminal”.

Before you can import the Terminal settings file, it must be exported from the other system and placed in a location where you can access it.

To import a Terminal settings file:

  1. In Terminal, choose Terminal > Preferences, and then click Settings.

  2. In the Finder, locate the Terminal settings file and then drag it to the Settings list, located on the left side of the Settings pane.

The setting appears in the list and is available to use.
