Some of my configs and more

Install zsh, ohmyzsh on windows

Download git

Download ZSH

Download the latest MSYS2 zsh package from the MSYS2 package repository.

The file will be named something along the lines of zsh-#.#-#-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

To unpack it I used WSL Ubuntu where I installed zstd from apt.

cd ~/Downloads
unzstd zsh-#.#-#-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

mkdir zsh-out
tar -xf zsh-#.#-#-x86_64.pkg.tar -C zsh-out

Copy the etc and usr directories from zsh-out to wherever you want to store the binaries.

I added them to my git bash for windows directory without overwriting any files

Set up Windows Terminal

Open Windows terminal, which you can install with chocolatey

Open settings, then the json settings file.

Add a profile to your Windows Terminal for zsh, specify the path, tab title and any icon you like to use

Set it as the default profile

Set up oh-my-ZSH and plugins

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)"

git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions.git ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-autosuggestions
git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting.git ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-syntax-highlighting

Copy the .zshrc and .bash_aliases from this repo to your home directory

Remember that zsh gets slower for each plugin you set up in you .zshrc

The plugins binaries are stored in ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins
