  • Configure Natural Text editing in the key configuration in the profile

ZSH="$HOME/.oh-my-zsh" sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)" "" --unattended

• Change Prompt
• Configure theme
  • I like to use agnoster theme. If it is is now showing properly, download and install powerline fonts and restart iTerm2.
  • Download latest version of agnoster theme
  • External themes are available here
• Configure following plugins
  • aws
  • docker
  • git
  • go
  • kubernetes
  • python
  • vscode
• Import custom .zshrc from dotfiles repo
  • Add zsh alias so when calling cat, bat is called instead.

Install Custom Fonts

# Install Powerline Fonts
# https://github.com/powerline/fonts

git clone https://github.com/powerline/fonts.git $HOME/.fonts --depth=1
cd $HOME/.fonts
./install.sh
cd $HOME
rm -rf $HOME/.fonts

# Install Nerd Fonts
# https://gist.github.com/davidteren/898f2dcccd42d9f8680ec69a3a5d350e
# https://www.nerdfonts.com/

# Configure fonts for vscode terminal
# https://gist.github.com/rodrigoechaide/1c1717c2324a67423c2233f8d588992c


# Configure font for iterm2
# https://webinstall.dev/nerdfont/

# Note: In order the special characters (such as the mac apple and other ones) to be shown properly in SpaceVim iterm2 should use nerd fonts which include powerline fonts.
# Related issue https://github.com/SpaceVim/SpaceVim/issues/2291

  • How to install fonts with brew
  • How to install fonts on macos

Note: To enable icons/glyphs on spacevim and on iTerm, I think that powerline or the font chosen on the iterm profile should be patched in order to add icons to it.

Install and configure spacevim

# https://spacevim.org/quick-start-guide/#linux-and-macos

curl -sLf https://spacevim.org/install.sh | bash

• quick-start-guide
• Customize configuration in ~/.SpaceVim.d/init.toml
• Configure vimdevicons
• Configure spacevim themes/colorschemes
  • Try to get fire theme that bretfisher used

Other Configurations

• Configure pipenv environment (store this in a github repo) with useful python libraries and configure zsh to start that venv with each shell. Put in the prompt a very short text indicating that we are inside the venv. Check this github issue

• Glyphs
