Thank you. This was probably the most helpful zsh configuration video that I have come across. I am using the default Terminal in MacOS with some of the zsh configurations that you mentioned it's working like a charm without the need to install iTerm2 and Oh My Zsh.
This video helped me a lot. I finally get rid of oh-my-zsh. Thank you very much!! OBS: Thanks for suggesting me fzf and zoxide. These terminal programs make me ridiculously more efficient! :)
Just discovered your amazing configuration. Where can I find the repo -Machfiles and the dotfiles. Has it gone private? Can someone send me the link? Thanks
From years I'm trying to get rid off zprezto and move to something like you've done. I guess I'm to lazzy, but after watching this vid, there is no more excuses :) Great content!!!!
Very nice idea with the separate files, and a very nice base to create your own config, thank you! :) The only thing that is somewhat odd is that you have an identical zshrc and .zshrc - is there a special reason for this?
Barely install a new Linux distro. Suspicious about oh-my-zsh from the get-go, ready to use prezto, and in the end compelled to use Chris plugin manager.
This is a great video! I have been using bash for a long time now and want to move to zsh, but this oh-my-zsh thing just shows up everywhere... I just don't get it why add an unnecessary extra layer of management
I did figure that out (I think) 😉 But.. when you was talking about plugins, do I need to download any repos or can I just simply copy/paste into the zshrc file and everything will work?
hi Chris, I am new to coding; have an old laptop (9yrs) upgraded it; and installed a minimal Debian OS (MX) I have installed ZSH, and cloned your repo into /home/Machfiles . I do not know how to link the Machfiles files with ZSH! can you assist please? thank you
Super-great work! I understand that Chris is developing a minimal Zsh plugin manager (Zap Zsh). I'd like to learn the setup, so can someone please send me the cofig files in this vid? Can't seem to find them all in his github page.
@@chrisatmachine I did it before to load nvm because it was super slow. I used this: github.com/mafredri/zsh-async. It didn't work perfectly, and I have since switched to fnm because it's just way better, but it should be possible to set something up to load completions asynchronously I think
I 've had used oh-my-zsh only because i like the fancy prompt. than i figured out, it's a "Plugin" called powerlevel10k and you are able to install it purely ^.^ You just need to clone the repository and source the theme-file inside your .zshrc. - That's all! I'm not pretty sure if you need a PlugIn Manager in zsh at all, even if its 9 rows long. Putting files into folders and sourcing them inside .zshrc makes things complicated and to be honest, i don't realy see a big different between your "zsh setup" and the hated "oh-my-zsh" setup, both are wired for pepople who don't want to re-engeneering things others have had coded. Might be easy for you but not for all. I like it simple, .zshrc is simple! One place everything you need and have is inside this file. You'd forgot to mention .zprofile is only loadet at login just "one" thing to keep in mind if somebody will use your setup.
You can just add `bindkey -v` in your zshrc to enable vim mode lol. When you installed zsh and use it for the first time, it will guide you to some configuration options that you want, and vim mode is there.
awesome vid . it seems you have removed your functions file in the repo. could you please add back or just reply to me with its content. it would be great and thanks in advanced
Thanks for the great video ! Unfortunately, zsh-autosuggestions adds a huge lag on the terminal. There is no way the terminal can be used normally when this plugin is active. Any suggestion to replace it / fix it ? Thanks !
I'm pretty sure you was one of "oh-my-zsh" User anyway. No need to talk bad about it. If you are an expert like you pretend, you won't watch this tutorial.
"PLUGIN_NAME=$(echo $1 | cut -d "/" -f 2)" Uffh, I'm new to zsh, but as a long-time bash user, the purist in me just cringes at inefficient lines like this. This kind of thing is precisely what built-in parameter expansion was made for. "PLUGIN_NAME=${1#*/}" Also "fpath+=$( ls /_* )". You should be able to just use globbing alone.
@@chrisatmachine And thank you for taking my suggestions in the right spirit. Probably the one resource that helped me the most in learning scripting is Greg's Wiki, particularly the BashFAQ and BashPitfalls lists. Although, as the page names imply, bash is the primary focus, a majority of what is written there is applicable to all shells. I highly recommend reading through them.
Still going to watch this for the background knowledge, but I've been very happy with running the zsh configuration script and using powerlevel10k for styling - ditched omyzsh ages ago.
@@christoffertrebo7150 It runs smoothly for me - no noticable lag that I've seen. I use the "pure" mode. Not sure if I can link to it here, but powerlevel10k GitHub typed into Google will find it.
Stupid out dated video. The least you can do is link the commit from the time of the video in description before you go making huge changes to the repo.
1:24 where the heck or what on earth is the "over" key? I've never even heard of that in 35 years of using a computer? I love the autosuggest feature (I think) .. but I don't have an "over" key... *confused....
Thank for your video, it's really helpful. I've been using Zim for a long time and I decided to switch from this plugins manager to the manual installation like you do. I copied and paste everything from your config and it works fine, but.. I was surprised by speed time. I use zsh-autosuggestions, fast-syntax-highlighting and powerlevel10k prompt plugins. Benchmarking is pretty easy: for i in $(seq 1 10); do /usr/bin/time /bin/zsh -i -c exit; done; When I use manual installation, like you do, it takes around 0.126-0.130 milliseconds to startup. But Zim takes 0.115 - 0.119 milliseconds. Hence, there is a very little difference between this two methods and in my experiment, manual installation is not faster than Zim
The video is really helpful. But, I am unable to find the special unicode character mentioned just before the branch name, it shows a rectangle box in Git repo. Could someone help me with this?

what about lunar-vim tshirts? hahahah
That's neat! I've been oh-my-zsh-free for a year, but I never thought about organizing it the way you did. Thanks Chris!
Very helpful, was looking forward for a video on configuring zsh
Hi binx!
You are absolutely awesome, not lot of people share what they knew but you are something special brother
7:54 : i would recommend setting XDG configuration in /etc/zsh/zshenv, so it is independent from window manager

Thanks, this video is really awesome!!
Your videos are hidden gem for me.
Awesome work! Maybe add a note in the description pointing to your new vid on Zap, as it impacts a lot of what's here
Can you please make a similar tutorial for bash as well ? A minimal bash setup with plugins.
Did you remove the repo from GitHub?
It seems to have moved to here: github.com/Mach-OS/Machfiles
Thanks for the tutorial and sources... Omw to ZSH without bloated fanmade stuffs...
Neat & elegant minimalist!

any way to disable auto suggestions on invalid commands? at 1:10 it autosuggested cda; i dont want that behavior.

Thx it helped me a alot!
DUDE, I got so frustrated 'cause of that problem, thanks a lot!
So I'm assuming this is now deprecated in favour of using your new plugin manager zap?
I think they're both fine solutions. But personally I'm using zap now.

He means the right arrow, if you're asking about completions.

Aoutosuggestions better on fish shell
But it's not POSIX compliant.

if you are using stock zsh you are already bloated
Fish + fundle is the way to go

Hello
Wow! I love the idea of zsh_add_plugin function. Thank you for sharing!
this is crazy, as soon as i start to try and configure my zsh. thanks chris!
Same here, perfect timing!
Awesome guide btw! Just curious what shell prompt are you using?
He is using a customer prompt you can create the same by copy paste from the video zshrc
Btw he made a more advanced plugin manager called "zap⚡"
useless ?
Man, I love you!!
Thank you! In theory could one have this all in .zshrc rather than multiple directories? I'm new to dotfiles but this was very helpful.
It can all be put .zshrc and sourced. He separates it into multiple files / directories just to keep "home" clean.
