Prezto — Instantly Awesome Zsh
Prezto is the configuration framework for Zsh; it enriches the command line interface environment with sane defaults, aliases, functions, auto completion, and prompt themes.
Installation
Prezto will work with any recent release of Zsh, but the minimum required version is 4.3.11.
-
Launch Zsh:
zsh
-
Clone the repository:
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
Note: If you already have any of the given configuration files,
ln
in the above operation will cause an error. In simple cases, you can load Prezto by adding the linesource "${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zprezto/init.zsh"
to the bottom of your ${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zshrc and keep the rest of your Zsh configuration intact. For more complicated setups, we recommend that you back up your original configs and replace them with the provided Prezto runcoms. -
Set Zsh as your default shell:
chsh -s /bin/zsh
-
Open a new Zsh terminal window or tab.
Troubleshooting
If you are not able to find certain commands after switching to Prezto, modify
the PATH
variable in ${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zprofile then open a new Zsh
terminal window or tab.
Updating
Run zprezto-update
to automatically check if there is an update to Prezto.
If there are no file conflicts, Prezto and its submodules will be automatically
updated. If there are conflicts you will be instructed to go into the
$ZPREZTODIR
directory and resolve them yourself.
To pull the latest changes and update submodules manually:
cd $ZPREZTODIR
git pull
git submodule sync --recursive
git submodule update --init --recursive
Usage
Prezto has many features disabled by default. Read the source code and the accompanying README files to learn about what is available.
Modules
- Browse /modules to see what is available.
- Load the modules you need in ${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zpreztorc then open a new Zsh terminal window or tab.
Themes
-
For a list of themes, type
prompt -l
. -
To preview a theme, type
prompt -p name
. -
Load the theme you like in ${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zpreztorc then open a new Zsh terminal window or tab.
Note that the git module may be required for special symbols to appear, such as those on the right of the above image. Add
'git'
to thepmodule
list (underzstyle ':prezto:load' pmodule \
in your ${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zpreztorc) to enable this module.
External Modules
-
By default modules will be loaded from /modules and /contrib.
-
Additional module directories can be added to the
:prezto:load:pmodule-dirs
setting in ${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zpreztorc.Note that module names need to be unique or they will cause an error when loading.
zstyle ':prezto:load' pmodule-dirs $HOME/.zprezto-contrib
