Zsh
In this article, I go over my implementation of ZSH, which is a better shell alternative to BASH.
Why ZSH?
ZSH is an amazing shell that just makes everything a bit easier from auto suggestions, completing tasks you do regularly considerably faster.
Before you Begin: Dependencies
I built a resource for those starting out with my Github @ https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/zsh and will be using many files from the project.
Packages needed before you start:
- zsh - ZSH Shell
- zsh-syntax-highlighting - syntax highlighting for ZSH in standard repos
- autojump - jump to directories with j or jc for child or jo to open in file manager
- zsh-autosuggestions - Suggestions based on your history
Initial Setup of ZSH
touch "$HOME/.cache/zshhistory"
#-- Setup Alias in $HOME/zsh/aliasrc
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k.git ~/powerlevel10k
echo 'source ~/powerlevel10k/powerlevel10k.zsh-theme' >> ~/.zshrc
Complete Switch from BASH to ZSH
chsh $USER
Then type /bin/zsh
OR Edit /etc/passwd and change /bin/bash to /bin/zsh
