My dotfiles for installing cool stuff

Before running

Make sure you've got iTerm2 installed before running the script. After that, open iTerm, clone this repo, cd into the directory and run ./init.sh. If you don't have it installed, run brew cask install iterm2.

Description of the script

The script will:

• Download and install Oh My ZShell.
• Download and install powerlevel9k.
• Download and install syntax highlighting for oh-my-zsh.
• Remove default .zshrc and link it to the one in this repo.

Making it work like a charm

After running the script, you can face a bug in which the font is not displayed correctly in the iTerm2 terminal. In that case, the correct thing to do is:

Go to iTerm2 -> Preferences -> Profiles -> Text, and change the font to Droid Sans Mono Awesome

If you don't see this font along with the other options, you can easily install it because it's inside this repository.

Little tip to make your terminal look amazing

Go to iTerm2 -> Preferences -> Profiles -> Colors, and change the color presets to Solarized Dark

Visual Studio Code config

Installing a patched font will mess up the integrated terminal in VS Code unless you use the proper settings. You'll need to go to settings (CMD + ,) and add or edit the following values:

• For Droid Font Awesome: "terminal.integrated.fontFamily": "Droid Sans Mono Awesome"
• For Source Code Pro: "terminal.integrated.fontFamily": "Source Code Pro for Powerline"
• For Meslo: "terminal.integrated.fontFamily": "Meslo LG M for Powerline"
• For other fonts you'll need to check the font name in Font Book.
• You can also set the fontsize e.g.: "terminal.integrated.fontSize": 14.
