dotfiles to turbo boost your ZSH productivity 🚀

After installation of these dotfiles, you will have a smooth, minimal ZSH prompt with awesome aliases, and features like alias finder, autosuggestions, syntax highlighting and history substring search.

The installation also backs up your old dotfiles for recovery. You can also create a copy of .zshrc file manually if you want to be extra cautious.

Installation

• Download or clone this repository to your home (~) folder
• Run make from the root of this repository
• Open a zsh terminal again after installation

Custom Installation

If you want to download or clone the repository, or backup your files in a custom folder, make sure to change the DOTFILES and BACKUPDOTFILES variables in make.sh.

My favorite plugins that come with the installation

• git
• pure
• aliases
• alias-finder
• zsh-z
• zsh-autosuggestions
• zsh-syntax-highlighting
• zsh-history-substring-search

Aliases

A lot of aliases come packaged with the Oh My Zsh plugins installed

• Just run acs to see a list of all aliases. (acs --help for more info)
• Run alias-finder to check if there is an alias for something you use often. (Ex. alias-finder 'git branch')(alias-finder --help for more info)

Custom alias file

If you want to add an alias, you can add it here - ./ohmyzsh-custom/aliases.zsh.
If you think your added aliases will be useful to others, feel free to create a PR.

Tips and Notes

• The zsh-history-substring-search plugin is configured to go through suggestions using the UP-DOWN arrows. Just type the substring to search and press UP or DOWN for suggestions!
• The shortcuts for the zsh-autosuggestions can be found in the .zshrc. (^ == Ctrl key)
• zsh-z is an awesome plugin to jump between directories. Run z --help for more info.
