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 custom

Next, 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 ~/.zshrc

Restart the shell and run setup-zsh to create the configuration file.

exec $SHELL
setup-zsh

Personal settings

Adjust the settings in settings/config to your liking.

# name of the zsh theme to be used
export ZSH_THEME="indro"

# your preferred text editor, e.g. mate, subl, vim, nano
export EDITOR=subl

# name of ruby manager, e.g. chruby, rbenv
export RUBY_MANAGER='chruby'

# hard drive used prompt
export MAIN_HD='/dev/disk1'

Refer to https://github.com/indrode/zsh-custom/tree/master/settings for more detailed explanations regarding settings.

The shell prompt

This setup uses my custom prompt. You can view it here. Adjust the setting to use a different prompt.
