..and on the seventh day, Science created zsh

Inspired by some recent posts from Tom on zsh, I decided that I’d do my part to help people give it a whirl. I’ve been using zsh for a few years now and haven’t found myself missing bash.
If you’re interested in taking a few minutes to give zsh a while, you’re in luck. I recently reorganized all of my zsh config into a package and tossed it on github to share. My goal was to create a reusable tool that would allow people to get up and running quickly with some of the fun configuration that I’ve come to rely on on a daily basis.
For example:
- Auto-complete rake and capistrano tasks
- Git branch names when you’re in a git project directory structure
- Tons of color highlighting (grep, git, etc.)
- Sexy prompts.. (so say me)
- much much more…
I invite you to give Oh My Zsh a whirl, which should take you less than a minute. Just follow the instructions.
Also, Oh My Zsh is Snow Leopard compatible. ;-)

Just found this and it’s great. The only problem is that it’s not automatically run for some reason even though I have zsh as my default shell. I have to manually type “zsh” at the command prompt to get the colors and extra things you added.
