Terminal look and feel

Terminal look change with zsh. https://ohmyz.sh/

Motivation

Needed a nice looking prompt in iterm while working on git (Ex: github) projects. This helps identify which branch you are working on easily. Need nice plug & play themes to stay motivated while working.

Steps:

Prerequisites

iTerm2 already installed. If not, install it from here

Installation

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh)"

Settings

Configuration file located in home directory

vi ~/.zshrc

I updated theme to “af-magic”. (set ZSH_THEME variables to “af-magic”)
