I also use the Source Code Pro font for some stuffвЂ¦ you can get those from the download folder at the end of this post.

Using Homebrew, you install it using cask ( an addon for Homebrew) so first install cask, then iTerm2:ДЄ special font, Powerline, is used to implement the arrows and git branch icons. I use it to script my MacOS install to about 90%, installing & configuring a few other apps that arenвЂ™t supported in Homebrew.ДЇirst, install ZSH and ZSH completions using Homebrew:ДЇinally, install iTerm2. Homebrew is a way to manage your MacOS installs using scripts and the command line. If you arenвЂ™t using Homebrew, consider adopting it. This is easyвЂ¦ especially if you are using Homebrew. The first step is to get Oh My ZSH and iTerm installed. After getting these setup, I then apply a custom theme and add a few customizations to make my prompt just perfect. iTerm is the MacOS Terminal replacement, also community backed, that is very configurable. For me (and most people), itвЂ™s too basic.ДЄ popular alternative to bash is to use Oh My Zsh, a community-driven framework for managing the config of the popular ZSH prompt on UNIX. It is very basic just like youвЂ™d expect as an OS included tool. Terminal is the interface to the bash command prompt MacOS includes a default command promptвЂ¦ that is Terminal. The closest configurable command prompt I would recommend is Cmder for Windows. Oh, before I go too far if youвЂ™re a Windows person, this isnвЂ™t for you.

current version of Node.js (if you are using NVM).

There are a few key points about this prompt:

This post will show you how to configure your command prompt to look like this: I get this question a lot when sharing screenshots or doing a presentation and wanted a resource to point people to. In this weekвЂ™s post I want to share how I set up my terminal on my laptop. In my last post I explained why I like using NVM to not only facilitate but manage multiple Node.js installations. I am working on a series of posts that arenвЂ™t specific to the SharePoint Framework but are tangentially related to the development experience. In spending time with and talking to developers making this jump, IвЂ™m finding they are interested in some of the tools and things I use. This style of development leverages popular open source tools built on Node.js and developers more time in the terminal/console than they are used to. Many if not most traditional SharePoint developers are new to the dev stack and build tool chain Microsoft selected for SharePoint Framework development.
