How Much To Install A Fifth Wheel Hitch

by Chiamaka Ikeanyi

Sometimes, using the default terminal sucks. You want to go out of the ordinary, to add life to the boring terminal and improve your productivity.

Z shell (Zsh) is a Unix shell congenital on meridian of bash (the default shell for macOS) with a large number of improvements.

In this walk-through, we will configure iTerm2 with ZSH and its dependencies. This is a no-brainer, and after this, y'all'll ponder the reason for not discovering ZSH earlier. Well, since y'all're here already, let'due south kick-beginning this.

Keynotes

• Homebrew installation
• iTerm2 installation
• ZSH and Oh My ZSH installations
• Setting up the dependencies to create a beautiful terminal

Step 1: Install Homebrew

Homebrew is a free and open-source software package direction system that simplifies the installation of software on Apple's macOS.

Before installing Homebrew, we need to install the CLI tools for Xcode. Open up your terminal and run the command:

                xcode-select —-install              

If you get an error, run xcode-select -r to reset xcode-select.

Then, install Homebrew.

                /usr/bin/scarlet -east "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"                              

Step 2: Install iTerm2

iTerm2 is a replacement for terminal and the successor to iTerm. Most software engineers prefer iTerm2 over the default last that ships with macOS equally a upshot of its cool features. Y'all can integrate zsh into iTerm2 to increase productivity.

To install iTerm2, run the command:

                mash cask install iterm2              

Step iii: Install ZSH

Zsh is a crush designed for interactive use, although information technology is also a powerful scripting language.

By default, macOs ships with zsh located in/bin/zsh.

Let's install zsh using brew and make iTerm2 utilise it.

                brew install zsh              

Stride 4: Install Oh My Zsh

"Oh My Zsh is an open source, community-driven framework for managing your zsh configuration. It volition non brand y'all a 10x developer…but you might experience like 1"

— Robby Russell

It runs on Zsh to provide cool features configurable within the ~/.zhrc config file. Install Oh My Zsh by running the command

                sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh)"              

Bank check the installed version

                zsh --version              

You can upgrade information technology to get the latest features it offers.

                upgrade_oh_my_zsh              

Restart iTerm2 to dive into the new feel of using Zsh. Welcome to the "Oh My Zsh" world ?.

That's not all. At present, we will install the dependencies to get the all-time out of Zsh.

Step 5: Change the Default Theme

Oh My Zsh comes bundled with a lot of themes. The default theme is robbyrussell, but you can modify it to any theme of your choice. In this scenario, I changed it to agnoster, an already pre-installed theme.

You then need to select this theme in your ~/.zshrc. To open the config file (.zshrc), run the control:

                nano ~/.zshrc              

Zsh theme gear up to agnoster

Or open the file in a text editor with

                open ~/.zshrc              

Set the zsh theme and update your changes

                source ~/.zhrc              

Using a Custom Theme

To install another theme not pre-installed, clone the repository into custom/themesdirectory. In this scenario, nosotros'll install powerlevel9k,

                $ git clone https://github.com/bhilburn/powerlevel9k.git ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/themes/powerlevel9k              

Then, select this theme in your ~/.zshrc

                ZSH_THEME="powerlevel9k/powerlevel9k"              

Update your changes by running the command source ~/.zshrc

Navigate to iTerm2 > Preferences > Profiles > Colors if yous wish to change the background color of the terminal.

The selected theme in this scenario requires powerline fonts. So, allow's install that.

Step 6: Install Fonts

I will be using Inconsolata. Get your preferred font out of these powerline fonts. And so, download and install information technology.

Or download the unabridged font.

                git clone https://github.com/powerline/fonts.git  cd fonts  ./install.sh              

To modify the font, navigate to iTerm2 > Preferences > Profiles > Text > Modify Font.

Now, you can run across Inconsolata listed as one of the fonts. Select your preferred font. For fonts that support ligatures like FiraCode, check the "Use ligatures" option to view your arrows and other operators in a stylish fashion like ( → ).

Select a powerline font

Step 7: Install Color Scheme

Let's change the color scheme to bring out the beauty of our terminal. Navigate to iTerm2-Color-Schemes and download the Aught folder. Then, extract the downloaded folder cos what we demand resides in the schemes folder.

Navigate to iTerm2 > Preferences > Profile > Colors > Color Presets > Import

• Navigate to the schemes folder and select your preferred colour schemes to import them.
• Click on a specific colour scheme to activate it. In this scenario, I activated Batman which is my preferred color scheme.

Tada! ? We're done with the basic settings.

Batman colour scheme

Step 8: Install Plugins

Oh My ZSH comes preloaded with a git plugin. To add together more, for instance, docker, motorcar-suggestion, syntax highlighting and more than:

• Clone the Git repository

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

• Head over to .oh-my-zsh > custom > plugins directory to view the cloned directory. To access this, run the control open ~/.oh-my-zsh
• Add the plugin to the plugin section of the config file ~/.zshrc shown below
• Update your changes by running the command source ~/.zshrc

Step 9: Add Aliases

Aliases are shortcuts used to reduce the time spent on typing commands. Add together aliases to commands you run in the section shown below.

Typing dckimgs executes docker images control

Thanks for reading .

If you know about other means of improving productivity using ZSH, you lot tin driblet them on the comment section, I will exist glad to hear from yous.
