Zsh

We'll install zsh for all the features offered by oh-my-zsh. The installation and usage is really intutive. The env.sh is a config file we maintain so as to not pollute the ~/.zshrc too much. env.sh holds aliases, exports, path changes etc.

Zsh

Install zsh and zsh completions using homebrew

brew install zsh zsh-completions

Now you can customize your shell using two frameworks Prezto or Oh My Zsh. So follow one of the two sections below.

Oh My Zsh

Install oh-my-zsh on top of zsh to get additional functionality

curl -L https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/raw/master/tools/install.sh | sh

if you're still in the default shell, change default shell to zsh manually

chsh -s /usr/local/bin/zsh

edit the .zshrc by opening the file in a text editor

ZSH_THEME=pygmalion

    plugins=(git colored-man colorize github jira vagrant virtualenv pip python brew osx zsh-syntax-highlighting)
