Getting oh-my-zsh to work in Ubuntu

zsh.md

Prereq:

apt-get install zsh
apt-get install git-core

Getting zsh to work in ubuntu is weird, since sh does not understand the source command. So, you do this to install zsh

wget https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/raw/master/tools/install.sh -O - | zsh

and then you change your shell to zsh

chsh -s `which zsh`

and then restart

sudo shutdown -r 0

This problem is explained in depth in this issue

@Naatan the reason he probably does that is that window managers don't always pick up the changes automatically. Saying reboot rather than adding a procedure to install each window manager makes the instructions easier to follow.

Thanks 👍

thanks bro 👍

thanks bro.

Thank you!

You need the Powerline font to have your CLI with show git icons correctly
sudo apt install fonts-powerline

OR

git clone https://github.com/powerline/fonts.git --depth=1
# install
cd fonts
./install.sh```
