CLI Customization

1 min read

Here I want to touch on some of the configuration I like to do to my terminal environment. I use oh-my-zsh and oh-my-posh to get the most out of a cli’s quality of life.

Setting up ZSH and Oh-my-ZHS with autocomplete plugins

Installed oh-my-zsh from here https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)"

And added the following plugins.

sudo apt install zsh-autosuggestions zsh-syntax-highlighting zsh-autocomplete

Then add the following plugins to your .zshrc

    plugins=(
    git
    zsh-autosuggestions
    zsh-syntax-highlighting
    fast-syntax-highlighting
    zsh-autocomplete
    )

Configuring and Customizing Oh-My-Posh

Installation and setup instructions can be found here https://ohmyposh.dev/docs/installation/linux

curl -s https://ohmyposh.dev/install.sh | bash -s

I stole and modified the kali theme to remain true to my script kiddie roots.

mkdir .oh-my-zsh/prompt
cp .cache/oh-my-posh/themes/kali.omp.json .oh-my-zsh/prompt/sadako.omp.json

Here I removed the goofy skull emoji and changed the colors.

and then add this to your .zshrc

eval "$(oh-my-posh init zsh --config /home/eli/.oh-my-zsh/prompt/sadako.omp.json)"

I also installed this cute bonsai script https://gitlab.com/jallbrit/bonsai.sh

Added it to my .zshrc with:

git clone https://gitlab.com/jallbrit/bonsai.sh ~/bin/bonsai.sh
chmod +x ~/bin/bonsai.sh/bonsai.sh
ln -s ~/bin/bonsai.sh/bonsai.sh ~/.local/bin/bonsai

and added

bonsai -g 60,60 -m "$(date)"

to my .zshrc
