Minimal Zsh configuration

Info

Mesure startup time:

time zsh -i -c echo

• -i : force shell to be interactive
• -c : take the first argument as a command to execute

Enabling profiling

zsh has a builtin profiler to profile startup time usage.

It is called zprof and can be enabled by adding zmodload zsh/zprof

at the top and zprof at the bottom of your /.zshrc.

Source files

import your file here ,i have three different file:

• aliases: the file that contain all my aliases
• dir-colors: this file contain really big list of all possible file type with different colors for each category.
• gruvbox_256palette.sh: this file correct the colors of gruvbox in my terminal.
• PS: The whole list of the environment variables are in the zshenv file, and these are the most important ones:
  • XDG_CONFIG_HOME: $HOME/.config
  • XDG_CACHE_HOME: $HOME/.cache
  • XDG_DATA_HOME: $HOME/.local/share
  • XDG_BIN_HOME: $HOME/.local/bin
  • XDG_LIB_HOME: $HOME/.local/lib
  • XDG_TMP_HOME: $HOME/.local/tmp

source "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/misc/aliases"
source "$XDG_DATA_HOME/nvim/plugged/gruvbox/gruvbox_256palette.sh"
if [ -x "$(command -v dircolors)" ]; then
    eval "$(dircolors -b ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/misc/dir-colors)"
fi
