Setting up a new environment

Customising terminal

• vim config
  • set number
  • :highlight LineNr ctermfg=DarkGrey
  • hi MatchParen cterm=bold ctermbg=none ctermfg=magenta
• iTerm 2
  • grml zsh
  • spaceship-prompt
  • zsh-autosuggestions
  • dircolors
  • zsh-syntax-highlighting
• useful aliases
  • export ..='cd ../'
  • export serve='python3 -m http.server 8000'. Also, check out this awesome gist.
• separate functions into different file and source it

# .zshrc.local
if [ -f ~/.zshrc.functions ]; then
    source ~/.zshrc.functions
else
    print "404: ~/.zshrc.functions not found."
fi
