Install iTerm2

Change appearance

Install oh-my-zsh

oh-my-zsh is a setting framework for zsh.

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh)"
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Use Powerlevel 10k

Powerlevel 10k is a pulgin about appearance.

git clone https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k.git $ZSH_CUSTOM/themes/powerlevel10k
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Open .zshrc.

open ~/.zshrc
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

And edit it like this.

ZSH_THEME="powerlevel10k/powerlevel10k"
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Install font

Download here.

And clone.

Set up Terminal

Move to iTerm2, and open Preferences→Profiles→text.
Change Font to Source Code Pro for Powerline.

Open Preferences→Profiles→color.
I chose Solarized Dark.
_2021-01-24_19.30.58
Done!

Show predictive completion of commands

Install zsh-autosuggestions.
https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions

At first, clone it.

git clone [https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions](https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions) $ZSH_CUSTOM/plugins/zsh-autosuggestions
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Next, edit .zshrc and append zsh-autosuggestions.

plugins=(
    git
    zsh-autosuggestions
)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Update your setting.

source ~/.zshrc
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Set up alias

Open .zprofile and append an alias.

alias g='git'
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

You can enter "g" instead of "git".

g push
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Next, set the frequently used git command as an alias.
Open .gitconfig and append an alias.

[alias]
    co = checkout
    ps = push
    st = status
    br = branch
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

For example, you can enter "g ps" instead of "g push".

g ps
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Conclusion

For reference, I have published my .gitconfig file.
So please copy and use it.
