NOTE: this gist can be outdated, refer to this repository instead - https://github.com/ghaiklor/iterm-fish-fisherman-osx

Install iTerm 2

• Download and install iTerm2 (it has better color fidelity than the built in Terminal).

Install Color Scheme

Get the iTerm color settings:

• Material Design Theme
• More themes @ iterm2colorschemes

Just save it somewhere and open the file(s). The color settings will be imported into iTerm2. Apply them in iTerm through iTerm -> Preferences -> Profiles -> Colors -> Load Presets. You can create a different profile, other than Default if you wish to do so.

Install a Patched Font

• Meslo M-DZ Mono
• Others @ powerline fonts

Open the downloaded font and press "Install Font".

Set this font in iTerm2 (iTerm -> Preferences -> Profiles -> Text).

• Regular Font -> "Change Font"
• Non-ASCII Font -> "Change Font"

Restart iTerm2 for all changes to take effect.

Fish Shell

Install Fish Shell

Download and install Fish Shell.

Change default shell to fish:

chsh -s /usr/local/bin/fish

Install Oh My Fish

curl -L https://get.oh-my.fish | fish

If something goes wrong call omf doctor.

Install Theme

Bob The Fish is based on agnoster theme, which was the choise for me before Bob The Fish:

omf install bobthefish
