~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Terminal.plist
contains Terminal settings.
You can view the file (if you want to) with Property List Editor
, part of Apple's developer tools. Copy it to to your other machine to take your settings with you.
You can also export one Settings
entry in Terminal by selecting Shell
, Export Settings...
, or by pressing the cog button below the list in Terminal Preferences
, Settings
and choosing Export...
.

Copying the com.apple.Terminal.plist works very well. Be sure, however, to NOT have Terminal running when you copy the file as it will overwrite it when it exits.

on Macos Mojave 10.14.6 , copy of the preference file did not work even with terminal closed.
So I used this method:
- open a finder window and terminal preferences.
- select all terminal settings, and then drag and drop to finder.
- This creates *.terminal files
- copy those files, and do opposite, drag from finder to terminal settings.
