My OhMyZsh Setup

Install Oh My Zsh with curl

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

Note: You need to have ZSH installed before installing Oh My Zsh. Have a look at Installing ZSH

Using a customized theme

PowerLevel10k - my current favorite theme to use.

https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k

note: that you need to install fonts for it to work correctly. You can find more instructions on the powerlevel10k GitHub

Microsoft Terminal: Open Settings [Ctrl]+[,] search for fontFace and set value to MesloLGS NF for your Linux profile (example Ubuntu).

You can find the fonts here: Powerlevel 10k MesloLGS Nerd Font

Clone and set the powerlevel10k theme

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k.git ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-$HOME/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/themes/powerlevel10k

Set ZSH_THEME="powerlevel10k/powerlevel10k" in your ~/.zshrc.

Plugins I use the most (zsh-autosuggestions & zsh-syntax-highlighting)

  • Download zsh-autosuggestions by

git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions.git $ZSH_CUSTOM/plugins/zsh-autosuggestions

  • Download zsh-syntax-highlighting by

git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting.git $ZSH_CUSTOM/plugins/zsh-syntax-highlighting

  • Modify you .zshrc file to add the plugins Example: nano ~/.zshrc

  • Add zsh-autosuggestions & zsh-syntax-highlighting to plugins()

Prefered format:

plugins=(
 git
 zsh-autosuggestions
 zsh-syntax-highlighting
)

Shell Parameter Highlighting (requires zsh-syntax-highlighting plugin)

Special Thanks to user titus#6602 from the Oh-My-Zsh discord for sharing this awesome customization.

export ZSH_HIGHLIGHT_HIGHLIGHTERS=(main brackets regexp)
typeset -A ZSH_HIGHLIGHT_REGEXP
ZSH_HIGHLIGHT_REGEXP+=(' -{1,2}[a-zA-Z0-9_-]*' fg=008)

Example: It will highlight the parameters like -- or - in grey lke you see below.

Reload your .zshrc to apply changes with exec zsh.

Note you shouldn't not be using source ~/.zshrc when using ohmyzsh, just takes longer and forces to reload everything when its not needed.

If you want other users to have ohmyzsh then just do the below.

Make sure that zsh is already installed. Then login as another user of the system:

  • export ZSH=/home/username_here/.oh-my-zsh
  • sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)"
