ZSH

My ZSH config

Setup

• Clone the repository to your home folder

cd ~
git clone --recursive https://github.com/jiriks74/zsh

Updating

cd ~/zsh
git pull --recurse-submodules
git submodule update --init --recursive

Problems with updating (this will delete any customizations you have made in ~/zsh

• If you get fatal: refusing to merge unrelated histories you have changes in ~zsh that are not in the repository
• If you have backed up your customizations (if you have any) this will delete all differences between ~/zsh and the repository

cd ~/zsh
git fetch
git reset --hard origin/master

powerlevel10k theme

• Link the zsh file to your home folder as .zshrc

ln -s ~/zsh/zshrc ~/.zshrc

• Set the powerlevel10k theme the way you like it

zsh

• If configuration won't start automatically, just run

p10k config

Set as default

To set zsh as default shell for your user, edit /etc/passwd (from /bin/bash to /bin/zsh)

There are two ways:

Running this command:

• chsch $USER
• Input your password
• Input /bin/zsh

Modifying /etc/passwd

• Change your user in /etc/passwd to /bin/zsh instead of /bin/bash

• Find line containing your username

• Change the end of the line From: ...:/bin/bash

  To: ...:/bin/zsh
