How to switch from Oh My Zsh to starship 🚀

I switched from Oh My Zsh to starship since I started learning rust 😁 🦀

Step 0 Install homebrew if you don't have already

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

https://docs.brew.sh/Installation

Step 1 Delete Oh My Zsh

First, remove Oh My Zsh. When you remove Oh My Zsh, your .zshrc will be archived.

uninstall_oh_my_zsh

Step 2 Install starship

brew install starship

Step 3 Add the setting to .zshrc

Add the following to your .zshrc

 eval "$(starship init zsh)"

Step 4 Add a font

You can use the following font to avoid the character corruption.

Step 5 Create a config file for starship

Lastly we will need to create a toml file to configure starship settings

mkdir -p ~/.config && touch ~/.config/starship.toml
