Use ZSH with ITerm2 under Mac to create a shell with git hints

ITerm2 is an OS X next open source free terminal tool, as a substitute for terminal, compared to it has its own features, such as screen cutting, System hotkey, check copy and so on (below is a brief introduction). The use of zsh, paired with ITerm2, is good for improving productivity. as follows (borrow a picture):

1. Download ITerm2:

http://iterm2.com/

2. Download and use the Oh My zsh:

shell> git clone git://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh.git ~/.oh-my-zsh

shell> CP ~/.oh-my-zsh/templates/zshrc.zsh-template ~/.ZSHRC

shell> chsh-s/bin/zsh

( you can also put it in the cloud and copy it out. ZSHRC, creating oh-my-zsh soft links)

shell> ln-s/path/to/cloud/oh-my-zsh/~/.oh-my-zsh　　　　

3. Add a little bit of skill to improve efficiency

"1.iterm2 and friendly staff"

　　 (1) Command+d: Vertical segmentation; command+shift+d: Horizontal split; (below)

(2) Set Quick call out: Menu bar-->iterm2----Preferences The menu bar, select Keys, check the Multi box, set shortcut keys:

　　

(3) in ITerm2, directly with the mouse to select a word or a line of command, then has been copied, do not need to press COMMAND+C.

"2. Configure Git's command aliases"

Setting aliases for common git commands saves you from having to enter a long string of commands each time, and in Git it's easy to implement the alias setting with the git config command, as follows:
shell> git config--global alias.co checkout
shell> git config--global alias.br branch
shell> git config--global alias.ci commit
shell> git config--global alias.st status
shell> git config--global alias.last ' log-l HEAD '

That is: git config-global alias. Full write.
After executing the above command, you can see in the ~/.gitconfig file that these aliases are listed in the alias configuration item.
Note: Editing the ~/.gitconfig file directly also implements the alias setting.

Write to this almost close hand, here is just a point, for zsh and Oh My zsh, we can according to their actual needs to go to specific learning.
