oh my zshCatalog and functions

oh my zsh.oh-my-zshAfter installation, a hidden folder named " will be created in the root directory to store the party oh my zsh's default configuration files and third-party configuration files.

User configuration files are mainly placed customin folders

cd ~/.oh-my-zsh/

2. About iTerm2 garbled characters and others

2.1 Garbled characters caused by fonts

This problem usually occurs at the beginning, that is, after the oh my zshinstallation the theme is modified to the built-in one angoster( ZSH_THEME="agnoster" ). The system lacks the corresponding powerlinefonts, which causes this problem. It can be solved by installing any NERD FONTSfont.

2.2 Garbled icons caused by iTterm2 Arramgements configuration

Almost no one mentions the chaos caused by iTerm2configuration. This is because the conditions for the occurrence of this problem are quite accidental and harsh. My personal guess is that the reason may be that a snapshot Arrangementsequivalent to a certain period is set iTerm2, and its past configuration is saved. Since it is set to "start at boot", the current iTerm2configuration is overwritten with the past configuration every time.

When you start using it, it will only be used iTerm2as a built-in . Use all default settings and configure them Terminalafter using it for a period of time.Arrangements
Later, we started to iTerm2beautify the , and iconsgarbled characters began to appear at this time, and NERD FONTSthis problem could not be solved through installation.
It is very simple to solve this problem, just delete the original one and Arrangementsreconfigure it.
