Let's Use zsh on macOS X!

Benefits

• Adds completion features in the terminal
• Completes commands and file paths, even handling case conversion between uppercase and lowercase

Steps

Check whether zsh is available

$ cat /etc/shells
...

/etc/zsh

If it isn’t, install it with brew

$ brew install zsh
$ sudo sh -c 'echo $(which zsh) >> /etc/shells'

Switch your shell to zsh

$ chpass -s /bin/zsh
Password: (enter your password)

Default shell setting

$ chsh -s /bin/zsh

I use the following personal .zshrc settings.

Download the above and place
.zshrc
in your home directory (~/).

Since it’s managed with git, it’s also fine to create a link like this.

$ ln .zshrc ~/.zshrc

Load the zsh configuration file

$ source .zshrc

When you restart the terminal, you can confirm that the settings have been applied, as shown below.
