Just discovered.. zsh!

I never thought I would find zsh actually that great. I feel like I’ve been missing a nice prompt since ages.

I would like to cover my first experience a little and show you how you can turn your default shell into a powerful development tool. In order to do that, you have to:

1. install zsh
2. get a real plugin manager (antigen here!)
3. get a really nice and powerful prompt
4. enjoy all the above!

zsh is quite easy to install using your distribution package manager:

yum install zsh

antigen can be cloned from GitHub

git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/antigen.git .antigen

Now, edit your first .zshrc initialization file!

source ~/.antigen/antigen.zsh

antigen use oh-my-zsh

antigen bundle git

antigen bundle zsh-users/zsh-completions
antigen bundle zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting
antigen bundle nojhan/liquidprompt

antigen apply

Run zsh from your current shell and antigen should clone and install all the declared bundles.

liquidprompt will be installed, which you shall enjoy quite greatly.
