Better Terminal Experience - Oh-My-Zsh + Bira Theme + Autosuggestions¶
MacOS Installation with iTerm2 and Homebrew¶
First of all we need to install Homebrew
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
This will install all the necessary requirements:
brew tap homebrew/cask-fonts
brew install zsh-autosuggestions zsh-syntax-highlighting git wget zsh
brew cask install iterm2 font-fira-code-nerd-font
Install Oh-My-Zsh
sh -c "$(wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh -O -)"
~/.zshrc Config Modifications for MacOS
Set theme and fonts:
ZSH_THEME="bira"
Add this to the the end of ~/.zshrc
## Shell Integration and plugins
source /usr/local/share/zsh-syntax-highlighting/zsh-syntax-highlighting.zsh
source /usr/local/share/zsh-autosuggestions/zsh-autosuggestions.zsh
