[mostakimvip06]

Working in the terminal often involves repeating the same commands and searching for descriptions of specific arguments in the documentation. Add to this the visually unpleasant command line, and work can become uncomfortable. I will show you how to solve some of these problems. I will look at the Oh My Zsh tool for the zsh shell and briefly discuss its installation and configuration. In addition, I will touch on such aspects of this tool as:

terminal appearance,
working with the git version control system,
command prompt functions,
navigation between access paths.

Summary
What is Oh My Zsh?
Oh My Zsh is a framework for the zsh shell that offers a rich set of features. It can be used in many situations, for example in web administration, website management , as well as in the context of more advanced projects such as creating web portals or designing sales portals .

Working with a version control system
Thanks to this tool we have access to a number of amenities such as:

displaying information about the currently selected branch name and other useful information next to the access path. Such as the number of files on which changes have been made,
suggesting the name of the branch via Tab,
numerous useful aliases.
When getting to know this tool, I think we should pay special attention to the aliases prepared for us . This is something that can save time, and at the same time, it does not require a lot of time to learn. To view the list of available aliases, just use the command:

alias | grep -i git | sort -R
Oh My Zsh - console
Displays the first 10 available aliases.

Access path navigation
Moving between different access paths is probably the thing that is used most often pakistan telemarketing data in the terminal. Thanks to Oh My Zsh we have access to such functionalities as moving between paths without typing the command "cd" or viewing the history of our navigation.

Command name and argument prompting
Sometimes we forget the name of a command we need, or an argument. Thanks to this tool, we can easily navigate to the missing idea, without opening an additional tab in the browser. All we need to do is find out what the command could be called. Thanks to this, we enter the first letter into our console, then use the tab key and there you have it! A list of available options appears, from which we can easily choose the solution we wanted.

Display the list of available arguments via the Tab button.

We install Oh My Zsh
The installation is divided into two steps:

zsh and version control system installations,
installation of Oh My Zsh itself
Depending on your system, the process of installing zsh will vary. That's why I refer you to the official documentation here , which will take you step by step through the installation. As of this writing, the latest versions of macOS have zsh installed by default, and the version control system installed, so you can skip this step on that system. As for installing a version control system, I also refer you to the installation page .

Once we get through the first step, we can move on to the actual installation. We open our terminal and then run the command:

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/ ... install.sh)"
After successfully executing this command, the installation of Oh My Zsh is complete and we can enjoy the new features in our terminal.

However, if you have encountered a problem during installation, I recommend that you visit the following links first:

We choose and install a theme
The aspect that personally delights me the most in this tool is the visual configuration. Thanks to the many pre-loaded themes, we can choose the right set of colors and settings for our environment right from the start.
