Oh My Zsh -installing on ubuntu

June 06, 2019

This is a great command line improvement for me for linux especially if you’re using git as it’ll show you quite clearly which branch you’re on.

    apt install zsh
    chsh -s /bin/zsh root
    wget https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/raw/master/tools/install.sh -O - | zsh
    cp ~/.oh-my-zsh/templates/zshrc.zsh-template ~/.zshrc
    source ~/.zshrc
    nano ~/.zshrc

on git bash you may needs to install powerfonts and change some git bash settings to UTF-8 if you are not seeing the icons and a bit of gibberish but it should work if you’re in x-win. If you run this it’ll tell you something up with your fonts and character encoding.

    echo "\ue0b0 \u00b1 \ue0a0 \u27a6 \u2718 \u26a1 \u2699"

Youll probably have to do something like the following to fix

https://github.com/powerline/fonts ./install
