Oh-my-zsh installation and configuration

Installation and configurations of an oh-my-zsh shell with p10k theme.

Installation

Oh-my-zsh gives an installation script:

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)"

Because I like fancy icons and colors in my shell, I installed the p10k zsh theme. Here are the steps to install it:

Cloning the repository in oh-my-zsh custom themes folder:

 $ git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k.git ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-$HOME/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/themes/powerlevel10k

Setting ZSH_THEME="powerlevel10k/powerlevel10k" in ~/.zshrc file and restarting Zsh
Installing Meslo Nerd Font in the OS fonts:
- see this page for the installation
- Setting the font as default in the terminal settings (depends on the terminal)
- If using VSCode, adding this line to the settings.json:
```
  "terminal.integrated.fontFamily": "MesloLGS NF"
```
Launching p10k theme configuration tool:
```
 $ p10k configure
```

There are loads of plugins for oh-my-zsh.

Here are the plugins configured in my zshrc:

plugins=(
    git
    sudo
    docker
    zsh-autosuggestions
    zsh-syntax-highlighting
)

git: Provides aliases (e.g. gst for git status) and a few useful functions
sudo: Easily prefix your current or previous commands with sudo by pressing Esc twice
docker: Adds auto-completion for docker
zsh-autosuggestions: Suggests commands as you type based on history and completions
zsh-syntax-highlighting: Highlights the shell commands whilst they are typed

Some plugins need to be installed into the oh-my-zsh custom themes folder:

  $ git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-autosuggestions

  $ git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting.git ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-syntax-highlighting

Some configurations I find useful in the zshrc file:

# TODO
alias ll="ls -alhF"
