Least amount of steps to get a decent command line in OSX/linux environments

minimal-terminal-setup.md

The minimal set of steps to get a decent command line on a server

using homebrew, apt-get or whatever you have access to:

• install git
• install zsh

Directly from prezto install instructions

# launch zsh
zsh

# clone prezto
git clone --recursive https://github.com/sorin-ionescu/prezto.git "${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zprezto"

# Create a new Zsh configuration by copying the Zsh configuration files provided:
setopt EXTENDED_GLOB
for rcfile in "${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}"/.zprezto/runcoms/^README.md(.N); do
  ln -s "$rcfile" "${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.${rcfile:t}"
done

# Set Zsh as your default shell:
chsh -s /bin/zsh

TODO

• modify the default runcoms prezto files to activate the modules i like
• write down what you do to initialize ssh-keys, etc.
