Hey Justin, I have been following the Python series and now the Git course and you mentioned you use a different shell in your terminal, can you share which one you use? also how did you setup your prompt this way?
Thanks,
Jose

@jose-fernandez I hope that all is going well. I use a combination of a couple of things.
First, I havezsh
installed. Depending on your platform, that could be installed differently, but on MacOS you can do the following:(I am assuming that you are using homebrew as the package manager on MacOS. Check out https://brew.sh/ if you need to install Homebrew)
brew install zsh zsh-completions
(This will install zsh basic)sh -c "$(wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh -O -)"
(You can copy and paste that into the command line interface).- This will install
oh-my-zsh
which provides the prompt and some aliases that are handy out of the box.
- This will install
Those are the two things that I have to do in order to get things set up. If you have any trouble, please let me know.
Linux is going to be similar except instead of Homebrew you will use the built in package manager such asyum
orapt
. Hope that helps.
