ZSH + Oh My ZSH is an open-source framework to make your shell experience better.

Install

1. Install ZSH (I used brew).
2. Install Oh My ZSH (I used curl).

Shell profile

Edit and apply changes

# Edit your ZSH profile
# Note: I aliased this to "zedit"
nano ~/.zshrc

Changes won’t apply until you source or restart your shell.

# Source your ZSH profile
# Note: I aliased this to "zsource"
source ~/.zshrc

Customizations

Add this to the end of your shell profile:

# -----------------------------------------------
# Oh My ZSH! Config
# -----------------------------------------------

# Path to your oh-my-zsh installation.
export ZSH="$HOME/.oh-my-zsh"

# Set name of the theme to load --- if set to "random", it will
# load a random theme each time oh-my-zsh is loaded, in which case,
# to know which specific one was loaded, run: echo $RANDOM_THEME
# See https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/wiki/Themes
ZSH_THEME="robbyrussell"

# Which plugins would you like to load?
# Standard plugins can be found in $ZSH/plugins/
# Custom plugins may be added to $ZSH_CUSTOM/plugins/
# Example format: plugins=(rails git textmate ruby lighthouse)
# Add wisely, as too many plugins slow down shell startup.
plugins=(git)
