ezsh

A simple script to setup an awesome shell environment. Quickly install and setup zsh and oh-my-zsh (https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh) with

• powerlevel10k theme (https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k)
• Nerd-Fonts (https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts)
• zsh-completions (https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-completions)
• zsh-autosuggestions (https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions)
• zsh-syntax-highlighting (https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting)
• history-substring-search (https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-history-substring-search)
• fzf (https://github.com/junegunn/fzf)
• k (https://github.com/supercrabtree/k)
• marker (https://github.com/pindexis/marker)
• todotxt (https://github.com/todotxt/todo.txt-cli)

Sets following useful aliases and ohmyzsh plugins. You can add more or overwrite these in your personal zsh config files under ~/.config/ezsh/zshrc/

• l="ls -lah" - just type "l" instead of "ls -lah"
• alias k="k -h" - show human readable filesizes, in kb, mb etc
• e="exit"
• myip - (wget -qO- https://wtfismyip.com/text) - what's my ip: quickly find out external IP
• cheat - (https://github.com/chubin/cheat.sh) - cheatsheets in the terminal!
• speedtest - (curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sivel/speedtest-cli/master/speedtest.py | python3 -) run speedtest on the fly
• dadjoke - (curl https://icanhazdadjoke.com) - terminally sick jokes
• ipgeo - (curl "http://api.db-ip.com/v2/free/$1") - finds geo location from IP
• x="extract" - extract any compressed files
• z - quickly jump to most visited directories
• web-search - search on the web from cli
• sudo - easily prefix your commands with sudo by pressing esc twice
• systemd - many useful aliases for systemd

Demo

Command prompt looks like this (easily customize it by placing your configs in ~/.config/ezsh/zshrc/) user : directory : git stats : last command exit code free memory: load : time

Watch this to get an idea of what your Shell (well, life!) could be like!!

Installation

Requirements:

• git to clone it.
• python3 or python is required to run option '-c' which copies history from .bash_history

git clone https://github.com/jotyGill/ezsh
cd ezsh
./install.sh -c        # only run with '-c' the first time, running multiple times will duplicate history entries

This will install the setup under ~/.config/ezsh/ Change your terminal's fonts to either "RobotoMono Nerd Font" or "Hack Nerd Font" or "DejaVu Sans Mono Nerd Fonts". You can also manually install Nerd Fonts of your choice.

Notes

• Make sure to use any terminal besides QTerminal (default one in kali-xfce), here back space doesn't work for some reason (alt+back does). I recommend xfce4-terminal for Kali

• If you are already using zsh, your zsh config will be backed up to .zshrc-backup-date

• If the text/icons look broken, make sure your terminal is using one of the Nerd fonts. discussion. I recommend "RobotoMono Nerd Font"

• marker's shortcut "Ctr+t" clashed with fzf so I rebound it to "Ctr +b"

• All oh-my-zsh plugins are installed under ~/.config/ezsh/oh-my-zsh/plugin, Other tools (fzf,marker,todo) are installed in ~/.config/ezsh/

• If you use Marker, disable zsh-autosuggestions as it has a conflict with Marker (completion looks ugly). Add plugins=(${plugins:#(zsh-autosuggestions)}) into your personal config file to remove it

• The look of the shell can be very easily customised[https://github.com/bhilburn/powerlevel9k#prompt-customization] by overwriting POWERLEVEL10K settings in your personal config file under ~/.config/ezsh/zshrc/ . See example setup under example/personal_rc.zsh

Suggestions about more cool tools are always welcome :)

To Uninstall

To uninstall simply delete ~/.zshrc and ~/.config/ezsh/. The script creates a backup of your original .zshrc in the home folder with the filename indicating it's a backup. Rename it back to .zshrc
