# 🖥️ Modern WSL terminal (Zsh + Powerlevel10k)

## Goal

A terminal that is:

- readable
- fast
- equipped with intelligent autocomplete
- suited for modern development

---

## 1) Install Zsh

```bash
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y zsh
```

Set it as the default shell:

```bash
chsh -s $(which zsh)
```

Under WSL, add the following to `~/.bashrc`:

```bash
if command -v zsh >/dev/null 2>&1; then
  exec zsh
fi
```

---

## 2) Install Oh My Zsh

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

---

## 3) Install Powerlevel10k

```bash
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k.git \
  ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/themes/powerlevel10k
```

In `~/.zshrc`:

```bash
ZSH_THEME="powerlevel10k/powerlevel10k"
```

Then:

```bash
source ~/.zshrc
p10k configure
```

---

## 4) Install a Nerd Font (on Windows)

Install a Nerd Font on Windows (MesloLGS NF recommended).

Configure it in Windows Terminal:

- Settings → Debian profile
- Font → MesloLGS NF

---

## 5) Useful plugins

```bash
plugins=(
  git
  fzf
  zsh-autosuggestions
  zsh-syntax-highlighting
)
```

Install them:

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

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

---

## 6) Modern CLI tools

```bash
sudo apt install -y \
  bat eza fd-find ripgrep fzf zoxide
```

Recommended aliases:

```bash
alias ls="eza --icons"
alias ll="eza -lh --git --icons"
alias cat="batcat"
alias grep="rg"
alias find="fdfind"
```

---

## 7) FZF

Add to `~/.zshrc`:

```bash
[ -f ~/.fzf.zsh ] && source ~/.fzf.zsh
```

---

## Result

- A modern terminal
- Fast navigation
- Higher productivity
