Now is time to setup some useful plugins for iTerm.
Fish-like fast/unobtrusive autosuggestions for zsh.
It suggests commands as you type, based on command history. This is my favourite plugin, it will save you a lot of time spent in typing commands in our terminal.
-
Clone this repository into
$ZSH_CUSTOM/plugins
(by default~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins
)git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-autosuggestions
-
Add the plugin to the list of plugins for Oh My Zsh to load (open
~/.zshrc
):plugins=(zsh-autosuggestions)
-
Start a new terminal session.
For other types of installation go here.
This package provides syntax highlighting for the shell zsh. It enables highlighting of commands whilst they are typed at a zsh prompt into an interactive terminal. This helps in reviewing commands before running them, particularly in catching syntax errors.
-
Clone this repository in oh-my-zsh's plugins directory:
git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting.git ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-syntax-highlighting
-
Activate the plugin in
~/.zshrc
:plugins=( [plugins...] zsh-syntax-highlighting)
-
Source
~/.zshrc
to take changes into account:source ~/.zshrc
By default, word jumps (option + →
or option + ←
) and word deletions (option + backspace
) do not work.
To enable these, go to "iTerm => Preferences => Profiles => Keys => Load Preset... => Natural Text Editing"
For further customisation of your prompt, you can follow a great guide here: https://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/how-to-customize-your-command-prompt--net-24083
# Which plugins would you like to load? (plugins can be found in ~/.oh-my-zsh/plugins/*)
# Custom plugins may be added to ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins/
# Example format: plugins=(rails git textmate ruby lighthouse)
# Add wisely, as too many plugins slow down shell startup.
