Other configuration

Except for the configure files listed in the repository, there are some other tools worth being marked down.

zsh + oh-my-zsh

1. Install zsh and make it the default shell:

sudo apt install zsh
chsh -s $(which zsh)

2. Install oh-my-zsh:

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)"

3. Configure zsh:

• Change the theme to agnoster by modifying ZSH_THEME="agnoster".

• Add autosuggestions:

git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-autosuggestions

# Add the plugin to the list of plugins for Oh My Zsh to load (inside ~/.zshrc)
plugins=(
    # other plugins...
    zsh-autosuggestions
)

• Remove hostname by setting prompt_context() {}.

• Install and add zsh-syntax-highlighting to your zsh file like the following:

echo "source /usr/share/zsh-syntax-highlighting/zsh-syntax-highlighting.zsh" >> ${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zshrc

4. Others:

   Better to touch a new zsh configure file named .zshenv to store other plugins' configuration, such as export=.., etc. Leave the .zshrc alone with configuration not referring to any other tools other than zsh itself and some OS options, such as making a proxy setting.
