In order to become a card-carrying Linux user, I feel like you
need to have spent a truly astounding amount of time fiddling
with your
dotfiles. Me? I’ve gone way beyond the point of diminishing returns. Past the
point where anyone who loves me can even feign interest. And now I’m
quaffing the sweet nectar of victory, and that victory nectar
is sweet. Oh yes, that’s right: my insanely customized prompt
is now a part of
Bobby Russell’s
Oh-My-ZSH I’m feeling the pride, joy, and anxiety that can only come from
watching my little utf-8 baby move beyond my home directory and march
deep into the uncharted home directories of what I can only assume are
BILLIONS of users. …or it will when you update your theme. See, cause, oh-my-zsh uses
themes
to specify how your prompt looks. You can define what theme you’d like
to use in your Like any good dotfile obsessive, I’ve continued to make changes to
this prompt since I made my pull request to ole Robby! I’ve modified the
prompt to show the same sort of branch information about SVN repos that
it currently displays for git repos (e.g., current branch name and local
modifications). That little code chestnut is available over on
my fork of the
oh-my-zsh build. I also have a version of this prompt for Bash that I’ve made in
preperation for the undoubted overwhelming demand that I expect to begin
any time now: Most of the inspiration for moving to ZSH and for creating this
extravagant (to borrow a phrase) prompt came from a blog post
written by Mr. Steve Losh called,
“My Extravagant ZSH Prompt”.
All your Oh-My-ZSH are belong to us!

~/.zshrc file. On or around line 8 you’ll
want to update the line that starts with ZSH_THEME=… to
look like this:# Set name of the theme to load.
# Look in ~/.oh-my-zsh/themes/
# Optionally, if you set this to "random", it'll load a random theme each
# time that oh-my-zsh is loaded.
