zsh-jwalter

My own personal ZSH theme with Git, SVN, and network awareness

Requirements

• ZSH >= 4.3
• Access to the mount command
• Terminal font patched with Powerline

Optional Requirements

• Git
• SVN
• rvm
• nvm

Installation

Clone the repo, create a symlink, change .zshrc. Or...

cd "${ZSH_CUSTOM}"
mkdir themes
cd themes
git clone https://github.com/jeffwalter/zsh-jwalter.git
ln -s zsh-jwalter/jwalter.zsh-theme ./
cd
# Set ZSH_THEME to "jwalter"
"${EDITOR}" .zshrc

That's it. Open a new terminal and you should be in business.
