ZSH

My ZSH config

Your own customizations

If you want to make any customizations to your config without deleting them, or merging them, every time I update, here's the solution:

• Make a file called custom-zshrc in your $HOME/zsh directory
• Put your customizations in that file The file is in .gitignore, so it won't interfere with the repository and you can pull updates without resolving differences between local files and the repository. It is also set to be sourced in the zshrc file, so you really don't have to set up anything, just add the customizations.

Setup

• Clone the repository to your home folder

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

• 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 zsh as your default shell

There are two ways

Running chsh

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

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
