Oh my ZSH + Starship?

What’s up guys this is Harshith and in this article, I will be showing you how you can install Starship. A clean and modern ZSH prompt with powerline fonts

First, make sure you have the following before you install zsh.

sudo apt install curl -> Debian/APT
sudo pacman -S curl -> Arch/Pacman

Then install it using

sudo apt install zsh #-> Debian/APT
sudo pacman -S zsh #-> Arch/Pacman

Note that you need Git before you can install Oh My ZSH

sudo apt install git #-> Debian/APT
sudo pacman -S git #-> Arch/Pacman

Now install Oh My ZSH

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

We have installed zsh but to change it as the default shell execute this command

Note: This command requires root privileges

chsh -s $(which zsh)

Now to install Starship execute the following

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://starship.rs/install.sh)"

Agree to all the required question

Navigate to your home folder using

cd ~

You will have a file called .zshrc

Replace the content of the file using nano ~/.zshrc with this

ZSH="/home/harshith/.oh-my-zsh"

#Theme
ZSH_THEME=""

#Plugins
plugins=(git zsh-autosuggestions)
source $ZSH/oh-my-zsh.sh

#Star Ship
eval "$(starship init zsh)"

To exit Nano use Ctrl + X then Y and Enter

Once you have exited execute the following to run source .zshrc

Note: I have used a plugin called ZSH Auto suggestions and it can be installed with

git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-autosuggestions

and adding

plugins=( 
    # other plugins...
    zsh-autosuggestions
)

to the .zshrc file

I use the following for my Shell

Terminal -> Konsole (Default for KDE)

Font -> Operator Mono

Theme -> Dracula
