As a developer, we spend a lot of time working on the terminal and having personalized shell makes the working environment perfect, decreases frustration and also, increases productivity.
In this blog, we will discuss how to quickly install plugins Auto-Suggestions
and Syntax Highlighting
in the oh-my-zsh
theme.
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh)"
NOTE: ZSH
and OhMyZsh
both are different.
Let’s take a look how to install plugins, and configure Zsh
:
git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions.git $ZSH_CUSTOM/plugins/zsh-autosuggestions
git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting.git $ZSH_CUSTOM/plugins/zsh-syntax-highlighting
Now, open .zshrc
file with your favourite editor:
nano ~/.zshrc
And simply add zsh-autosuggestions
& zsh-syntax-highlighting
to plugins()
section, it will do the magic for you:
plugins=(git zsh-autosuggestions zsh-syntax-highlighting)
Reopen terminal to reconfigure the settings and Voila! 🎉
