Oh My Posh

Oh My Posh is a prompt theme engine for any shell, including Zsh. It allows you to customize your terminal prompt with themes and segments.

brew install jandedobbeleer/oh-my-posh/oh-my-posh
echo 'eval "$(oh-my-posh init zsh)"' >> ~/.zshrc
echo 'OH_MY_POSH_THEME="kali"' >> ~/.zshrc

Autosuggestions

Zsh autosuggestions provide command suggestions based on your history and current input, enhancing your command line experience.

brew install zsh-autosuggestions
# To activate the autosuggestions, add the following at the end of your ~/.zshrc:
brew_prefix=$(brew --prefix)
echo "source $brew_prefix/share/zsh-autosuggestions/zsh-autosuggestions.zsh" \
  >> ~/.zshrc

Aliases

Create a file ~/.bash_aliases and add your aliases there, or directly in ~/.zshrc.

# Alias definitions.
# You may want to put all your additions into a separate file like
# ~/.bash_aliases, instead of adding them here directly.

if [ -f ~/.bash_aliases ]; then
    . ~/.bash_aliases
fi

alias zshconfig='nano ~/.zshrc'
alias ls='eza -la --group-directories-first --icons'
