OhMyZsh! Making ZSH efficent and look good !!

from OnMyZsh

Oh My Zsh is a delightful, open source, community-driven framework for managing your Zsh configuration. It comes bundled with thousands of helpful functions, helpers, plugins, themes, and a few things that make you shout…
“Oh My ZSH!”

I’m writing this as something between notes for me for setting up new machines and to share the info for someone using the same setup. That setup? typically one of these 3:

  1. Ubuntu 20.04
  2. Raspian (headless)
  3. ChromeOS flex

If you have another system or wish to see a lot more detail check out the OhMyZsh Zsh installation guide

Installation is made easy with a tidy script on the Github repo. Worth having a look at before running to make yourself familir with what it is changing on your system (and no one has compromised it) more install instructions

# install zsh
sudo apt install zsh

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

# change the shell to zsh
chsh -s $(which zsh)

Reopen your terminal and you should see a fancy looking ZSH!

There’s a great cheatsheet availabe here
