# Custom theme for ZSH

> Custom theme for ZSH inspired by the setup I use in my JavaScript courses on Platzi.

I currently have more than 18 courses on the online education platform [Platzi](https://platzi.com/teachers/gndx) where I teach **JavaScript**, the use of the terminal is very important in my courses when we are working with NodeJS or JavaScript with a Framework or Library.

One of the questions I get asked the most is what my terminal/console/bash/promt configuration is, to which I always answered that it was a custom theme created based on the default themes included in [Oh My Zsh](https://ohmyz.sh/).

It is not until now that I prepare the theme, optimize it and adapt it so that everyone can install it in their **Oh My Zsh** configurations.

### Extras

I currently use the plugins [zsh-autosuggestions](https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions) and [zsh-syntax-highlighting](https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting) which allow me to have a better experience using the commands.
