I have a local terminal which has a color scheme set up the way I want it. When I ssh into a remote server through this terminal, it adopts the color scheme of the remote terminal within my terminal. Is there any way I can use my own local terminal color scheme instead of the remote one?

  • You might consider this a feature, you now know you are on a remote machine. Commented Jul 10, 2020 at 6:01
  • @icarus Indeed however I'd also enjoy the option to use my local scheme if it's available, where I have everything fine tuned the way I enjoy it. Commented Jul 10, 2020 at 6:11

    What do you mean by "color scheme"? A custom prompt? If yes, just copy your shell configs to the remote server. Commented Jul 10, 2020 at 8:10

When you are using ssh you are logically on the other machine, so your local files are not available right away. Depending on your use-case you can make them available (not so efficient since it always needs to load over the network), copy them (manually or automatically) or use a special tool, that adjusts the output on your machine. There are some options descibed on serverfault, which should get you started.
