Zsh Terminal

Zsh

The Z shell (Zsh) is a Unix shell that can be used as an interactive login shell and as a command interpreter for shell scripting.

Zsh is an extended Bourne shell with many improvements, including some features of Bash, Korn shell (ksh), and tcsh.

Terminal theme - Oh My Zsh + Powerlevel10k + Nerd font

The standard macOS Terminal appearance is just boring. Apple included a few nice preset themes too, but to really make your terminal appearance stand out you need to customize it yourself.

Below is the Terminal using my personal theme and .zshrc configuration. Feel free to copy and use it.

You can set up Zsh following this tutorial or using the mac-setup install script:

bash <(curl -fsSL raw.githubusercontent.com/monsieurborges/mac-setup/master/install) zsh

macOS Zsh theme

Update and select Zsh as the default shell

  1. Define HOMEBREW_PREFIX

    if [[ "$(/usr/bin/uname -m)" == "arm64" ]]; then
    HOMEBREW_PREFIX="/opt/homebrew"
else
    HOMEBREW_PREFIX="/usr/local"
fi

eval "$(${HOMEBREW_PREFIX}/bin/brew shellenv)"

  2. Update zsh:

    brew install zsh

  3. Add the new shell to the list of allowed shells:

    if $(grep -Fxq "${HOMEBREW_PREFIX}/bin/zsh" /etc/shells); then
    echo "The list of shells is already updated"
else
    echo "${HOMEBREW_PREFIX}/bin/zsh" | sudo tee -a /etc/shells
fi

  4. Change to the new shell:

    chsh -s ${HOMEBREW_PREFIX}/bin/zsh

  5. Check the ZSH version:

    zsh --version

Install Oh My Zsh

Oh My Zsh is an open source, community-driven framework for managing your zsh configuration.

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

You can upgrade it to get the latest features it offers:

omz update

Install Fonts

You will want to check out the Nerd-Fonts repo, which contains a ton of fonts which support all the awesome symbols you want to use.

To install the fonts, use Homebrew Cask Fonts:

  1. Add Homebrew Cask Fonts:

    brew tap homebrew/cask-fonts

  2. Install Nerd Font:

    brew install font-hack-nerd-font

Install Powerlevel10k theme

Powerlevel10k is the most awesome Powerline theme for ZSH around!

Run on the terminal:

URL="https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k.git"
DIR="${HOME}/.oh-my-zsh/custom/themes/powerlevel10k"
git clone "${URL}" "${DIR}"

Install Plugins

Install zsh-autosuggestions

Clone the repository inside your oh-my-zsh repo:

URL="https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions"
DIR="${HOME}/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins/zsh-autosuggestions"
git clone "${URL}" "${DIR}"

Install syntax highlighting

Syntax highlighting package provides syntax highlighting for the shell zsh.

Clone the repository inside your oh-my-zsh repo:

URL="https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting.git"
DIR="${ZSH_CUSTOM:-${HOME}/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-syntax-highlighting"
git clone "${URL}" "${DIR}"

Keep script compatibility with GNU Linux (optional)

brew install coreutils
brew install findutils
brew install gnu-tar
brew install gnu-sed

Update .zshrc

  1. Backup the current .zshrc file:

    if [[ -f "${HOME}/.zshrc" ]]; then
    cp "${HOME}/.zshrc" "${HOME}/.zshrc.bkp"
fi

  2. Update the .zshrc. Paste that in the terminal:

    read -r -d '' ZSH_PROFILE <<"EOF"
