Installing zsh (ubuntu/mint)

sudo apt-get install zsh

oh-my-zsh

A pretty nice zsh configuration manager. Has some great plugins and useful poweruser features.

Themes

• agnoster is a cool theme, requires Powerline fonts installed to actually look good
  • https://github.com/powerline/fonts
• powerlevel9k

Dual-wielding

I liked the look of some terminals that had textual information aligned with the right side of the terminal as well as on the left side. This seemed like a good way to get additional information without crowding the left side too much.

I found this resource:

• http://zsh.sourceforge.net/Intro/intro_14.html Which helped. Looks like a general feature of zsh that allows you to use the right side.

Right side prompt elements
