I use this repo to keeping my personal customization files that I use to personalize my terminal experience.

I got this idea from this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AK2JE2YsKto, after that, I got a lot of more customizations.

This can be applied on Linux, Mac or Windows (WSL).

This script .install.sh can be used do the initial setup the tools (zsh, oh-my-zsh, powerlevel10k theme, oh-my-zsh plugins, brew packages and yadm), and then applies the YADM at the end, which gets the current customizations on your home directory ~/.

You can run the script directly with the following command:

curl -s -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fredcido/dotfiles/main/.install.sh | bash

In the end, run the command to define ZSH as the default shell:

chsh -s $(which zsh)

This is how your prompt will look like after cloning the settings with YADM.

• Home directory

• Some project with git

To customize the prompt, run p10k configure or edit ~/.p10k.zsh.

If you only want to get the files without installing anything new, just use YADM in your home directory.

cd ~
yadm clone [email protected]:fredcido/dotfiles.git

There is a way to easy install packages for both OSX and Linux using brew and brewfile, it's described on this link https://gist.github.com/ChristopherA/a579274536aab36ea9966f301ff14f3f

Run this command to update the brew file based on what you are running.

brew bundle dump --file=.brewfile --force

 brew bundle install --file=.brewfile

To enjoy this setting at its utmost performance, install MesloLGS NF Font on your OS, and select MesloLGS NF on your Terminal and Code Editor.

The font is already installed with brew for OSX. This install step is necessary only for Windows/WSL/Linux More info about MesloLGS font can be found on the repo: https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k#manual-font-installation

Manual Install

Follow instructions from <https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k#manual-font-installation.

Windows with powershell

choco install nerd-fonts-meslo

MacOS with brew

brew install --cask font-meslo-lg-nerd-font

On the terminal settings, click on the terminal you want to change the font (powershell/ubuntu/git bash, etc), go to appearance, then Font face and select MesloLGM Nerd Font.

In the VSCode settings.json apply these settings to enable MesloLGS NF on the integrated terminal.

    "terminal.integrated.fontFamily": "MesloLGS NF",

It is possible to enforce some resource limitations on the WSL environment.

1 - Turn off all WSL instances such as docker-desktop

wsl --shutdown

2 - Create/Edit the .wslconfig file with this content:

notepad "%HOMEPATH%/.wslconfig"

[wsl2]
memory=4GB   # Limits VM memory in WSL 2 up to 4GB
processors=4 # Makes the WSL 2 VM use two virtual processors
