Prezto — Instantly Awesome Zsh
==============================
Prezto is the configuration framework for [Zsh][1]; it enriches the command line
interface environment with sane defaults, aliases, functions, auto completion,
and prompt themes.
Installation
------------
Prezto will work with any recent release of Zsh, but the minimum required
version is 4.3.17.
1. Launch Zsh:
`zsh`
2. Clone the repository:
`git clone --recursive https://github.com/sorin-ionescu/prezto.git "${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zprezto"`
3. Create a new Zsh configuration by copying the Zsh configuration files
provided:
```
setopt EXTENDED_GLOB
for rcfile in "${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}"/.zprezto/runcoms/^README.md(.N); do
ln -s "$rcfile" "${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.${rcfile:t}"
done
```
4. Set Zsh as your default shell:
`chsh -s /bin/zsh`
5. Open a new Zsh terminal window or tab.
### Troubleshooting
If you are not able to find certain commands after switching to *Prezto*,
modify the `PATH` variable in *~/.zprofile* then open a new Zsh terminal
window or tab.
Updating
--------
Pull the latest changes and update submodules.
git pull && git submodule update --init --recursive

Prezto has many features disabled by default. Read the source code and
accompanying README files to learn of what is available.

2. Load the modules you need in *~/.zpreztorc* then open a new Zsh terminal
window or tab.
