* [zprezto-update] Add convenience function to update zprezto This function checks if there is any update to zprezto, and if so will pull in the changes. It will not attempt a pull unless it is fastforwardable. It also makes sure the user is on the master branch before attempting. * [zprezto-update] Improve resilience of the function Better error checking of status of the git repository and better error producing. Fit columns into mostly 80 width and add a missing printf argument. Use ( ) around the function so changing directory does not affect the outer scope. * [README] Add instructions on using zprezto-update function

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
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note: If you already have any of the given config files, ln will error. In
|
|
simple cases you can add `source "${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zprezto/init.zsh"` to
|
|
the bottom of your `.zshrc` to load prezto but keep your config intact. For
|
|
more complicated setups, it is recommended that you back up your original
|
|
configs and replace them with the provided prezto runcoms.
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
Run `zprezto-update` to automatically check if there is an update to zprezto.
|
|
If there are no file conflicts, zprezto its submodules will be automatically
|
|
be updated. If there are conflicts you will instructed to go
|
|
into the `$ZPREZTODIR` directory and resolve them yourself.
|
|
|
|
To pull the latest changes and update submodules manually:
|
|
|
|
cd $ZPREZTODIR
|
|
git pull
|
|
git submodule update --init --recursive
|
|
|
|
