ZSH Quickstart Kit

ZSH Quickstart Kit is a simple ZSH quickstart for using ZSH, zgenom, oh-my-zsh and a curated list of extra plugins. It is designed to be easy to customize without requiring you to maintain your own fork.

This is free and open source software.

Included plugins:

  • chrissicool/zsh-256color – Sets your terminal to 256 colors if available.
  • djui/alias-tips – Warns you when you have an alias for the command you just typed and tells you what it is.
  • eventi/noreallyjustfuckingstopalready- Deals with Apple’s squirrelly DNS resolver. Only loads when you’re running on macOS.
  • peterhurford/git-it-on.zsh – Opens your current repository on GitHub, in your current branch.
  • robSis/zsh-completion-generator – Adds a tool to generate ZSH completion functions for programs missing them by parsing their –help output. Note that this doesn’t happen dynamically; you’ll have to explicitly run it to create a completion for each command missing one.
  • sharat87/pip-app – A set of shell functions to make it easy to install small apps and utilities distributed with pip.
  • skx/sysadmin-util – A collection of scripts useful for sysadmins.
  • srijanshetty/docker-zsh – Adds completions for docker.
  • stackexchange/blackbox – Tom Limoncelli’s tool for storing secret information in a repository with GnuPG encryption, automatically decrypting as needed.
  • supercrabtree/k – k is a directory lister that also shows git status on files & directories.
  • unixorn/1password-op.plugin.zsh – Tab completions for 1Password’s op command line tool. Only installs itself if op is in your $PATH.
  • unixorn/autoupdate-zgenom – Adds autoupdate (for both zgenom itself, and your plugins) to zgenom.
  • unixorn/bitbucket-git-helpers – Adds git helper scripts for bitbucket.
  • unixorn/fzf-zsh-plugin – This enables fzf-powered history search.
  • unixorn/git-extra-commands – A collection of extra helper scripts for git.
  • unixorn/jpb.zshplugin – Some of standard aliases & functions.
  • unixorn/rake-completion.zshplugin – Reads the Rakefile in the current directory so you can tab-complete the Rakefile targets.
  • unixorn/tumult.plugin.zsh – Adds macOS-specific functions and scripts. This plugin only adds itself to your $PATH if you’re running macOS to allow you to use the same plugin list on macOS and other systems.
  • zdharma-continuum/fast-syntax-highlighting – Syntax highlighting as you type.
  • zsh-autosuggestions – Adds fish-like autosuggestions to your ZSH sessions.
  • zsh-users/zsh-completions – Tab completions for many more applications than come standard with ZSH.
  • zsh-users/zsh-history-substring-search – Better history search.
