By contrast, the GNU General Public\nLicense is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free\nsoftware--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  This\nGeneral Public License applies to most of the Free Software\nFoundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to\nusing it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by\nthe GNU Lesser General Public License instead.)  You can apply it to\nyour programs, too.\n\n  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not\nprice.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you\nhave the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for\nthis service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it\nif you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it\nin new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.\n\n  To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid\nanyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.\nThese restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you\ndistribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.\n\n  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether\ngratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that\nyou have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the\nsource code.  And you must show them these terms so they know their\nrights.\n\n  We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and\n(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,\ndistribute and/or modify the software.\n\n  Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain\nthat everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free\nsoftware.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we\nwant its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so\nthat any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original\nauthors' reputations.\n\n  Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software\npatents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free\nprogram will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the\nprogram proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any\npatent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.\n\n  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and\nmodification follow.\n\n                    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE\n   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION\n\n  0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains\na notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed\nunder the terms of this General Public License.  The \"Program\", below,\nrefers to any such program or work, and a \"work based on the Program\"\nmeans either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:\nthat is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,\neither verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another\nlanguage.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in\nthe term \"modification\".)  Each licensee is addressed as \"you\".\n\nActivities other than copying, distribution and modification are not\ncovered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of\nrunning the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program\nis covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the\nProgram (independent of having been made by running the Program).\nWhether that is true depends on what the Program does.\n\n  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's\nsource code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you\nconspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate\ncopyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the\nnotices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;\nand give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License\nalong with the Program.\n\nYou may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and\nyou may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.\n\n  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion\nof it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and\ndistribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1\nabove, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:\n\n    a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices\n    stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.\n\n    b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in\n    whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any\n    part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third\n    parties under the terms of this License.\n\n    c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively\n    when run, you must cause it, when started running for such\n    interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an\n    announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a\n    notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide\n    a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under\n    these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this\n    License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but\n    does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on\n    the Program is not required to print an announcement.)\n\nThese requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If\nidentifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,\nand can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in\nthemselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those\nsections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you\ndistribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based\non the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of\nthis License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the\nentire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.\n\nThus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest\nyour rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to\nexercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or\ncollective works based on the Program.\n\nIn addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program\nwith the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of\na storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under\nthe scope of this License.\n\n  3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,\nunder Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of\nSections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:\n\n    a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable\n    source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections\n    1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,\n\n    b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three\n    years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your\n    cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete\n    machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be\n    distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium\n    customarily used for software interchange; or,\n\n    c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer\n    to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is\n    allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you\n    received the program in object code or executable form with such\n    an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)\n\nThe source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for\nmaking modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source\ncode means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any\nassociated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to\ncontrol compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a\nspecial exception, the source code distributed need not include\nanything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary\nform) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the\noperating system on which the executable runs, unless that component\nitself accompanies the executable.\n\nIf distribution of executable or object code is made by offering\naccess to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent\naccess to copy the source code from the same place counts as\ndistribution of the source code, even though third parties are not\ncompelled to copy the source along with the object code.\n\n  4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program\nexcept as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt\notherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is\nvoid, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.\nHowever, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under\nthis License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such\nparties remain in full compliance.\n\n  5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not\nsigned it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or\ndistribute the Program or its derivative works.  These actions are\nprohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by\nmodifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the\nProgram), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and\nall its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying\nthe Program or works based on it.\n\n  6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the\nProgram), the recipient automatically receives a license from the\noriginal licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to\nthese terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further\nrestrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.\nYou are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to\nthis License.\n\n  7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent\ninfringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),\nconditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or\notherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not\nexcuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot\ndistribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this\nLicense and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you\nmay not distribute the Program at all.  For example, if a patent\nlicense would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by\nall those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then\nthe only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to\nrefrain entirely from distribution of the Program.\n\nIf any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under\nany particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to\napply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other\ncircumstances.\n\nIt is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any\npatents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any\nsuch claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the\nintegrity of the free software distribution system, which is\nimplemented by public license practices.  Many people have made\ngenerous contributions to the wide range of software distributed\nthrough that system in reliance on consistent application of that\nsystem; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing\nto distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot\nimpose that choice.\n\nThis section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to\nbe a consequence of the rest of this License.\n\n  8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in\ncertain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the\noriginal copyright holder who places the Program under this License\nmay add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding\nthose countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among\ncountries not thus excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates\nthe limitation as if written in the body of this License.\n\n  9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions\nof the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will\nbe similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to\naddress new problems or concerns.\n\nEach version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program\nspecifies a version number of this License which applies to it and \"any\nlater version\", you have the option of following the terms and conditions\neither of that version or of any later version published by the Free\nSoftware Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of\nthis License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software\nFoundation.\n\n  10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free\nprograms whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author\nto ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free\nSoftware Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes\nmake exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals\nof preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and\nof promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.\n\n                            NO WARRANTY\n\n  11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY\nFOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN\nOTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES\nPROVIDE THE PROGRAM \"AS IS\" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED\nOR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF\nMERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS\nTO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE\nPROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,\nREPAIR OR CORRECTION.\n\n  12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING\nWILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR\nREDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,\nINCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING\nOUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED\nTO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY\nYOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER\nPROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE\nPOSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.\n\n                     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS\n\n            How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs\n\n  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest\npossible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it\nfree software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.\n\n  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest\nto attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively\nconvey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least\nthe \"copyright\" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.\n\n    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>\n    Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>\n\n    This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify\n    it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by\n    the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or\n    (at your option) any later version.\n\n    This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,\n    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of\n    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the\n    GNU General Public License for more details.\n\n    You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along\n    with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc.,\n    51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA.\n\nAlso add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.\n\nIf the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this\nwhen it starts in an interactive mode:\n\n    Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author\n    Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.\n    This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it\n    under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.\n\nThe hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate\nparts of the General Public License.  Of course, the commands you use may\nbe called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be\nmouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.\n\nYou should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your\nschool, if any, to sign a \"copyright disclaimer\" for the program, if\nnecessary.  Here is a sample; alter the names:\n\n  Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program\n  `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.\n\n  <signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989\n  Ty Coon, President of Vice\n\nThis General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into\nproprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine library, you may\nconsider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the\nlibrary.  If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General\nPublic License instead of this License.\n"

    "content": "# win-zsh\n\nA guide for setting up the nicest terminal Windows has ever had.\n\n![Yes, this is possible in Windows now.](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DigitalMachinist/win-zsh/main/featured.png)\n\nThis is my Windows Terminal app running oh-my-zsh with the [powerlevel10k](https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k) theme installed. I don't provide instructions on how to set this *specific* theme up, however the configuration tool that comes with powerlevel10k is *fantastic* and it's easy to get a terminal set up that looks and behaves as nicely as what I have here once you finish this guide.\n\n## What am I looking at?\n\n**Finally, it's possible to have a decent Win10 terminal.**\n\nIn this guide, my intent is to install a `bash` & `zsh` terminals onto a Windows 10 machine such that they:\n\n- Have easy access to the Windows filesystem\n- Run almost as fast as a native implementation\n- Have a good baseline vim config without additional work\n- Support copy/cut/paste with `Ctrl+C`, `Ctrl+X`, `Ctrl+V` like normal\n- Depend on only software that I have used and know works well\n- Support colour themes to liven up your terminal!\n\nI'm leaning on [Microsoft's WSL install guide](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10) and it might be a valuable resource if you run into trouble. Also, [this deep dive into WSL is very helpful](https://adamtheautomator.com/windows-subsystem-for-linux/) if you want to get into the nitty gritty.\n\n## Phase 1: Ubuntu bash via WSL\n\nIn the first phase of this process, we're going to install Windows Subsystem of Linux and get Ubuntu up and running within our Windows install so we have access to a bash terminal. This is already great, but is only a first step toward better things.\n\nYou can install just WSL1 or upgrade to WSL2. I use the older WSL1 personally, because WSL1 offers better Windows filesystem performance and all the files I work on are on my Windows drive. However, WSL2 may perform better if you keep the files you work with on your Linux filesystem. See [this comparison](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/compare-versions) for more details. It is worth noting that it's possible to use both versions on the same machine, but that's beyond the scope of this guide.\n\n1. [Open the Windows Store app and install the Ubuntu app](https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/p/ubuntu/9nblggh4msv6?activetab=pivot:overviewtab) by Canonical Group Limited. If the Windows Store isn't available to you, you can [enable developer mode](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/get-started/enable-your-device-for-development) and manually install the Ubuntu 20.04 app from [here](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-manual). \n\n2. Open a Powershell terminal as Administrator.\n\n3. Run the following command in a PowerShell terminal to install WSL:\n\n    ```Powershell\n    dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux /all /norestart\n    ```\n\n4. If you want to upgrade to WSL2:\n\n    1. Run the following command in a PowerShell terminal to install VM features you'll need:\n    \n        ```Powershell\n        dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:VirtualMachinePlatform /all /norestart\n        ```\n    \n    2. Download and install the [WSL2 Linux kernel update](https://wslstorestorage.blob.core.windows.net/wslblob/wsl_update_x64.msi) from [here](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10#step-4---download-the-linux-kernel-update-package).\n    \n    3. Run the following command in a PowerShell terminal to switch to WSL2 by default:\n    \n        ```Powershell\n        wsl --set-default-version 2\n        ```\n\n5. Reboot your computer. **Yes, really.**\n\n6. After rebooting, run the Ubuntu app to confirm that a bash terminal starts up. You may need to set a username & password for your Ubuntu user at this point.\n\n7. Run the following command at your Ubuntu bash terminal to create a symlink from your Ubuntu home (~) to your Windows user folder:\n\n    ```bash\n    ln -s /mnt/c/Users/<your Windows username> ~/win10\n    ```\n\n8. Congratulations! You can use bash from Windows. It's not a trick or a hacky Windows implementation. Real Linux bash, with access to all the great tooling from the Ubuntu/Debian environment. The possibilities are endless! But we're only getting started...\n\n## Phase 2: New Windows Terminal\n\nIn the past, I used [ConEmu](https://conemu.github.io/) or [Cmder](https://cmder.net/) as a terminal app to centralize all of my terminals to one window. It's possible to run WSL terminals on apps such as these, but the setup is more complex than it needs to be. These days, the new [Windows Terminal](https://github.com/microsoft/terminal) from Microsoft acts to merge all my terminals into one window and has out-of-the-box support for WSL and will run the Ubuntu bash terminal we installed above with zero configuration.\n\n1. [Open the Windows Store app and install the Windows Terminal app](https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/p/windows-terminal/9n0dx20hk701?activetab=pivot:overviewtab) by Microsoft. If the Windows Store isn't available to you, [the Windows Terminal Github repo](https://github.com/microsoft/terminal#installing-and-running-windows-terminal) offers some other installation options to try.\n\n2. Run Windows Terminal. It should launch a PowerShell terminal by default, but the new terminal dropdown will include an option for `Ubuntu`. Open an `Ubuntu` terminal to launch your WSL Ubuntu bash from Phase 1 to confirm that everything is working so far.\n\n3. Open your Windows Terminal settings and compare them with [settings.json](https://github.com/DigitalMachinist/win-zsh/blob/main/settings.json) in this repo. Feel free to copy my `settings.json` over your own (make sure that your profile `guid` fields don't get lost when you do) or take bits and pieces that make sense for you. Check out [the documentation](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/terminal/customize-settings/global-settings) for more info about configuring Windows Terminal.\n\n4. Nice! All your terminal windows belong to a simple tabbed interface and you can get to Ubuntu bash easily. Now it's time to do what we all came here for...\n\n## Phase 3: Oh My Zsh\n\nHere's the fun part. Let's get zsh installed and then spend hours fussing with it to make it pretty!\n\n1. Open a new `Ubuntu` tab in Windows Terminal.\n\n2. Run the following command at your `bash` terminal to install `zsh`:\n\n    ```bash\n    sudo apt-get install zsh\n    ```\n    \n3. Run the following command at your `bash` terminal to set `zsh` as the default terminal.\n\n    ```bash\n    chsh -s $(which zsh)\n    ```\n\n4. Open a new `Ubuntu` tab in Windows Terminal. You will be presented with the zsh setup wizard. I leave the details of this setup to you to figure out. It's your terminal!\n\n5. Once the zsh configurator is finished, you should be sitting on a zsh terminal. Run `ps` at the terminal and if `zsh` is one of the active processes, then your're golden! \n\n6. Run the following command at your zsh terminal to install `oh-my-zsh`:\n\n    ```zsh\n    sh -c \"$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh)\"\n    ```\n\n7. If you want to install a terminal theme, you can choose from the [available options](https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/wiki/Themes) then edit the value of the `ZSH_THEME` variable in your `~/.zshrc` to the name of your chosen theme. There are [even more available options](https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/wiki/External-themes) but you'll need to download these separately to use them. I like [powerlevel10k](https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k) myself, but this is an exercise for the reader.\n\n8. Congratulations! You might just have the nicest terminal that's ever been available on a Windows machine! Time to install weird gizmos to impress your friends...\n\n## Finishing Touches\n\nThe instructions above cover the necessary steps to get zsh working and looking pretty, but there are some more things you might want to do to get the most out of this setup.\n\n- Set up your `Ubuntu` terminal as the default for new terminal windows in Windows Terminal by setting the `defaultProfile` in `settings.json` to whatever the `guid` of your `Ubuntu` profile is.\n\n- Set your `startingDirectory` in `settings.json` to `%USERPROFILE%` or a folder inside it so `zsh` opens into the Windows filesystem by default. It's less confusing to keep my files there in the idiomatic Windows folders than inside the filesystem of my WSL Ubuntu disk (which is basically hidden in Windows).\n\n- Consider mapping `\\\\wsl$\\Ubuntu\\` as a network drive. This will allow you to quickly and easily navigate to your Ubuntu root folder (`/`) and find files from Windows. Just type `\\\\wsl$` into explorer, right-click on the Ubuntu folder, select `Map network drive` and pick your favourite letter for the drive.\n\n- Windows Terminal's settings allow you to set a colour theme that interferes with the colours of oh-my-zsh themes. You might need to fuss with these to get the best look. I haven't figured out how to guarantee that you're getting the colours that oh-my-zsh theme authors intended for their themes just yet.\n\n- Consider installing a nice monospace font for your new terminal. Here are a few recommendations:\n  - [MesloLGS NF](https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k/blob/master/font.md) (Use this if you install the powerlevel10k Oh My Zsh theme!)\n  - [Ubuntu Mono](https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Ubuntu+Mono)\n  - [Fira Code](https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode)\n\n- Consider [upgrading your WSL Ubuntu from 20.04 to 20.10](https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/installing-ubuntu-20-10-on-wsl/18941). It really does open up some exciting new possiblities for what you can do with it (like some of the recommended tools below).\n\n- Consider adding some other spicy *nix tools to your Windows terminal:\n  - [bat](https://ostechnix.com/bat-a-cat-clone-with-syntax-highlighting-and-git-integration/) is a more colourful and usable version of `cat`\n  - [exa](https://github.com/ogham/exa) is a more colourful and usable version of `ls`\n  - [fd](https://github.com/sharkdp/fd) is a more colourful and usable version of `find`\n  - [httpie](https://github.com/httpie/httpie) is a more colourful and usable version of `curl`\n  - [fzf](https://github.com/junegunn/fzf) is a powerful fuzzy-search tool. In particular, it supports keybinds such as `Ctrl+R` to fuzzy search your command history or `Alt+C` to fuzzy-find files recursively from your current folder.\n\n- I like to add the following lines to the end of my `~/.zshrc` to automatically start up my SSH agent and install my SSH key so I can use Github via SSH without interruption:\n\n    ```zsh\n    echo \"Starting SSH agent...\"\n    eval $(ssh-agent -s)\n    ssh-add ~/.ssh/<private key file>\n    ```\n    \n- I'm annoyed by how my Windows Terminal `Settings.json` copy/paste bindings collide with \\*nix commands and would love to have better suggestions. For example, in vim `Ctrl+V` enters visual mode but Windows Terminal's `Ctrl+V` bind seems run the equivalent of `xp` in vim (delete the current character and replace it with the copied text) which prevents you from entering visual mode entirely *and* unexpectedly changes your document.\n\n- While I don't use PowerShell that much personally, [PowerLine](https://github.com/Jaykul/PowerLine) seems like a promising tool to bring similar terminal theming to that of oh-my-zsh with powerlevel10k to PowerShell. Check that out if you're a regular PowerShell user.\n\n## Issues\n\nI'm offering this guide without warranty and I realize that eventually it will become obsolete somehow, so if you run into trouble I can't guarantee that I can help. That being said, I encourage people to post issues on this repo if you encounter problems or even if you just think something could be configured better or explained more easily. Please share your experience so I can attempt to make this guide better and learn from you.\n"
