zsh-custom
I like ZSH and I use the configuration framework Oh My ZSH to add more functionality. Additionally, I have added a lot more customization in recent years.
If ZSH and oh-my-zsh are new to you, check out Ryan Bates' Oh My ZSH screencast for a short introduction and setup instructions.
This is the /custom folder in my ~/.oh-my-zsh. It contains my personal setup which works fine for me. It includes some personal configurations, so it is not made to be a template, but it may provide some re-usable ideas. I'm working on making this more generic by adding personal settings and configuration files.
Setting up .zshrc
This assumes that you have a working Oh My ZSH. In your ~/.oh-my-zsh directory, replace custom with the git clone of this repository.
~/.oh-my-zsh
rm -r custo
git clone git://github.com/indrode/zsh-custom.git customNext, replace your ~/.zshrc with a symlink to ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/zshrc. You may want to make a backup of your ~/.zshrc if you desire.
rm ~/.zshrc && ln -s ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/zshrc ~/.zshrcRestart the shell and run setup-zsh to create the configuration file.
exec $SHELL
