Install Homebrew!

Homebrew is the missing package manager for macOS (or Linux)

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install))"

Install Git!

Using brew commands, we will now install and setup git.

brew install git
git --version
git config --global push.default simple
git config --global user.email "<youremail>"
git config --global user.name "<yourname>"
git config --global alias.lg "log --color --graph --pretty=format:'%Cred%h%Creset -%C(yellow)%d%Creset %s %Cgreen(%cr) %C(bold blue)<%an>%Creset' --abbrev-commit"

Oh-my-zsh

ohmyz.sh

Run the following commands

brew install zsh
zsh --version
chsh -s $(which zsh)
brew install curl
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh)"

Install powerlevel10k

I recommend installing via Homebrew

  • Install via Homebrew
brew install romkatv/powerlevel10k/powerlevel10k
echo "source $(brew --prefix)/opt/powerlevel10k/powerlevel10k.zsh-theme" >>~/.zshrc
  • Install Manually
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k.git ~/powerlevel10k
echo 'source ~/powerlevel10k/powerlevel10k.zsh-theme' >>~/.zshrc
  • open ~/.zshrc file and look for the ZSH_THEME and apply changes
ZSH_THEME="powerlevel10k/powerlevel10k"
  • run
 p10k configure

This command will guide you through various configurations that you would like to setup for your overall terminal look.
