zsh_setup

This contains all my zsh-starship-plugins setup files

• install zsh

sudo apt install zsh
# exa is a modern ls
sudo apt install exa
# to update fonts
sudo apt install fontconfig

• change to zsh shell

chsh -s $(which zsh)

• Now we are ready to go for starship but we need any nerd font
  • download a nerd font from link (I chose fira code nerd fonts)
  • I have uploaded the fonts zip files to my cloud fonts
  • extract the font to ~/.fonts
  • then run fc-cache -fv to rebuild all fonts (fontconfig should be installed)

# install starship
curl -sS -k https://starship.rs/install.sh | sh

• if the curl is not running download from link and place it inside /usr/local/bin
• if working with WSL the above is not possible, we need to download musl version of starship, but why worry I have that too download
• The installation will ask to add lines eval "$(starship init zsh)" to .zshrc BUT do't need to do that as we have the files we want build up
• copy the starship.toml file to ~/.config folder, this file is the settings for starship
• copy .zsh folder and .zshrc file to ~/ i.e $HOME folder, over write if needed
• IMPORTANT Specify the sops age key file properly and mask the ytd settings in zsh and change shell to zsh then source
• Now source ~/.zshrc and terminal restart will magically transform your terminal
