This is my zsh configuration as org-mode document, based off of my previous oh-my-zsh setup. So the setup presented here is at the moment almost completly owed to the crazy and wonderful croud assambled there. And to Sven Guckes and Julius Plenz – their book “zsh - Die magische Shell” is a helpful resource in setting up zsh.

Not everything is explained in prose yet, but I’ll get there, for my own good.

This is, and will be, a work in progress. And somtime I hope a work of beauty.

The whole configuration setup is in zshrc.org, the file is split during tangling.

• emacs 24
• org-mode >= 7.8.03 (exported after 23d january 2012)
• make

• Clone the github repository

  cd $HOME
  git clone git://github.com/tomterl/zshorg.git .zshorg
      

• Read the file zshrc.org and tinker with the settings.
• Backup your existing config

  mkdir -p ~/Backups
  tar cfvz ~/Backups/zsh-config-$(date +"%F-%T") ~/.zshrc ~/.zsh.d
      

• Generate the new config Either C-c C-v C-t while visiting the file zshrc.org in emacs, or

  cd ~/.zshorg
  make tangle
      

  this will overwrite ~/.zshrc and a couple of files in ~/.zsh.d; make sure you have backups. If you use the makefile, you have to tweak the ORGINSTALL variable or provide it at the commandline

  cd ~/.zshorg
  make tangle ORGINSTALL=your/actual/path/to/the/org/elc/files
      

• Install external addons

  make externals
      

Addons resp. plugins are managed using antibody. To update them issue make update-externals.
