🚀 Features

• Oh My Zsh with the miloshadzic theme.
• Lazy loading for faster startup (especially for nvm).
• Custom prompt with hostname and current directory.
• Enhanced command-line experience via:
  • zsh-autosuggestions
  • zsh-syntax-highlighting
• Optimized PATH for tools like Yarn and Neovim.
• Useful aliases for Git, system control, clipboard utilities, and more.
• History configuration with a large buffer size.
• Helper functions for system update and Git log visualization.

📦 Prerequisites

Before using this configuration, ensure you have:

• Zsh installed (zsh --version)
• Oh My Zsh installed
• nvm, yarn, git, and tmux installed
• xclip installed (for pbcopy / pbpaste clipboard aliases)
• preload installed (optional for performance tuning)
• Plugins:
  • zsh-syntax-highlighting
  • zsh-autosuggestions

🛠️ Plugin Configuration

plugins=(
  npm
  yarn
  git
  zsh-syntax-highlighting
  zsh-autosuggestions
)

Plugin settings:

• nvm: lazy loading enabled to reduce shell startup time.
• yarn: avoids using global path detection to reduce conflicts.
• Autosuggestions styled with underline, bold, and color.

🎨 Prompt Style

PROMPT='%F{240}%n%F{red}@%F{green}%m:%F{141}%d$ %F{reset}'

This provides a clean and colorful shell prompt showing:

• Username
• Hostname
• Current directory

tmux	Start tmux with UTF-8 support
pbcopy	Copy from stdin to clipboard (xclip)
pbpaste	Paste from clipboard
python	Maps to python3
reboot	Reboot system using systemd

📝 History Settings

HISTFILE=~/.zsh_history
HISTSIZE=10000

🧠 Tips for Customization

• To add more plugins, place them in the plugins=(...) array.
• For a random theme every startup, set ZSH_THEME="random" and optionally define ZSH_THEME_RANDOM_CANDIDATES.
• Define personal aliases in the ZSH_CUSTOM directory or inside .zshrc directly.
• Customize prompt or theme using Oh My Zsh Themes Wiki.

📂 Path Adjustments

export PATH="$PATH:$(yarn global bin)"
PATH+="$PATH:/opt/nvim-linux64/bin"

Adds Yarn global binaries and Neovim to your executable search path.

---

🔌 NVM Initialization

export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion"

Ensures Node Version Manager (NVM) is available in your shell.
