Prezto — Instantly Awesome Zsh

Prezto is the configuration framework for Zsh; it enriches the command line interface environment with sane defaults, aliases, functions, auto completion, and prompt themes.

Installation

Prezto will work with any recent release of Zsh, but the minimum required version is 4.3.17.

1. Create a fork of the main repo

2. Clone that forked repo:

   git clone --recursive https://github.com/YOUR-USERNAME/prezto.git "${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zprezto"

3. Create a new zsh configuration by running the included install.zsh script

4. Change your default shell:

   chsh -s $(which zsh)

5. Open a new terminal window or tab!

Troubleshooting

If you are not able to find certain commands after switching to Prezto, modify the PATH variable in ~/.zprofile then open a new terminal window or tab.

Updating

Pull the latest changes and update submodules.

git pull && git submodule update --init --recursive

Usage

Prezto has many features disabled by default. Read the source code and accompanying README files to learn of what is available.

Modules

1. Browse /modules to see what is available.
2. Load the modules you need in ~/.zpreztorc then open a new Zsh terminal window or tab.

Themes

1. For a list of themes, type prompt -l.

2. To preview a theme, type prompt -p name.

3. Load the theme you like in ~/.zpreztorc then open a new Zsh terminal window or tab.
