My Shell Setup
==============
Much if my information comes from [here](https://www.bretfisher.com/shell/) and his [YouTube video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KeSIJQEinJA).
Note that this will backup and replace your existing `~/.zshrc` file
You'll need zsh to install Oh My Zsh. Run `zsh --version` to check if you have it.
macOS
-----
* install [HomeBrew](https://brew.sh/) (probably already installed)
* install [iTerm2](https://www.iterm2.com/)
* install prereqs
* need to install [Nerd Fonts](https://www.nerdfonts.com) (may want other fonts but must be `Nerd` variety)
```shell
brew tap homebrew/cask-fonts
brew install --cask font-fantasque-sans-mono
brew install --cask font-hack-nerd-font
brew install --cask font-fira-nerd-font
```
* Configure iTerm2 to use one of the nerd fonts
* needed for `oh-my-zsh` module `autojump`
```shell
brew install autojump
brew install terminal-notifier
```
* install `ls` replacement `exa`
```shell
brew install exa
```
* continue to [Common Install Steps](#common-install-steps)
Linux
-----
* install [Tilex](https://gnunn1.github.io/tilix-web/)
```shell
apt install tilix
```
* install prereqs
* If which zsh not installed, then install with `sudo apt install zsh`. Next, change your login shell with `chsh -s $(which zsh)`
* need to install [Nerd Fonts](https://www.nerdfonts.com) (may want other fonts but must be `Nerd` variety)
* I download [FiraCode](https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/releases/download/v2.3.3/FiraCode.zip), exand, open Nautilus and double-click on each non-Windows font
* configure Tilix to use the Nerd font
* install `autojump`
```(shell)
sudo apt install autojump
```
* continue to [Common Install Steps](#common-install-steps)
Windows
-------
* Install [Windows Terminal](https://github.com/microsoft/terminal)
* Recommend using WSL2 with Ubuntu and zsh installed there, but may be able to use Git Bash
* other steps TBD
* continue to [Common Install Steps](#common-install-steps)
Common Install Steps
--------------------
* install [Oh My Zsh](https://ohmyz.sh/) customized [fork](https://github.com/fklassen/ohmyzsh)
* fork `fklassen` fork of `oh-my-zsh` to your personal account, or simpler yet use `fklassen/ohmyzsh` if you don't plan to modify anything
```shell
https://github.com/fklassen/ohmyzsh/fork
```
* if you forked, optionally modify `README.md` and `tools/install.sh` to point to your repo so that you don't need `REPO=fklassen/ohmyzsh` during installation
* optionally customize forked repo to match your preferences
* run installer
* if you are using `fklassen/ohmyzsh` ...
```shell
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL <https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fklassen/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh>)"
```
* if you forked your own repo ...
```shell
REPO=<your_github_id>/ohmyzsh sh -c "$(curl -fsSL <https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fklassen/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh>)"
```
* optionally configure by editing '~/.zshrc` (see [Getting Started](https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/wiki#getting-started))
* I personally like to make a symbolic link so I can commit my changes to my forked config
```(shell)
cd
ln -sf ~/.oh-my-zsh/templates/zshrc.zsh-template .zshrc
```
* install [Starship](https://starship.rs)
* run installer
```(shell)
curl -sS https://starship.rs/install.sh | sh
```
* take a copy Starship config file
```(shell)
mkdir -p ~/.config
cd ~/.config
ln -s ~/.oh-my-zsh/templates/starship.toml
```
* Start a terminal session
