# plus.. homebrew-cask! $ brew install caskroom/cask/brew-cask
# use homebrew to install zsh $ brew install zsh
$ chsh -s `which zsh` $ vim ~/.zshrc # hack away
# install oh my zsh $ curl -L http://install.ohmyz.sh |
sh $ vim ~/.zshrc # hack away
# Zsh syntax highlighting $ cd ~/.oh-my-zsh && git clone
git:// github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax- highlighting.git $ source ~/.oh-my-zsh/zsh-syntax- highlighting/zsh-syntax-highlighting.zsh
# Z $ brew install z $ . `brew —prefix`/etc/profile.d/z.sh
# outdated! Z is now a oh-my-zsh plugin
# Power vim with plugins $ curl -L https://bit.ly/janus-bootstrap |
bash
# Pimp iTerm2 $ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ chriskempson/tomorrow-theme/master/iTerm2/ Tomorrow%20Night.itermcolors
