Once zshell has been installed, we will want to make it our default shell (instead of let’s say bash). You can also check the version of the zshell installed to make sure its compatible with the plugins you want to use later on: zsh -version
#Guake with tmux install
In this guide, I will be using Ubuntu (or other Debian based systems) so I can be lazy and just install it using the package manager: sudo apt-get install zsh This step is not really required to use Vim and Tmux, but it is recommended due to several improvements and plugins that you can use to improve your development environment. As I feel like I am years (maybe decades) late to the party, here is a simple guide I wrote to help people like me who want to dive head-first into vim and tmux. I also decided to use tmux instead of relying on the guake terminal for more awesomeness.Īfter two months, am I very pleased with the results: I now have my development environment set up using zshell, vim, and tmux and all the tools that I used to have before have been configured to work on vim. I will no longer use any text editor or IDE for programming and will force myself to use vim exclusively. This time, they probably thought I was crazy.Īfter the conference I finally decided to jump to the other side. It looked cool! Some of my peers also uses vim and tmux so its not a new concept to me, however I always decided to use gedit all these years. I was attending a Ruby conference with my peers and one of the speakers (Brad Urani) demonstrated zshell, vim, and tmux and how he does development in his machine. I thought the guy was crazy.įast forward 12 years in my career. We tried constantly to convince him to use Emacs but he always refused and stuck to using vi. To be honest, it looked painful watching him edit code with no syntax highlighting, no line numbers, and no plugins whatsoever. In our team there is one person who refused to use Emacs, instead he was using vi (without the m!).
#Guake with tmux how to
However, I have no idea how to use it properly so I just used it more like Notepad++ than Emacs. In my first job we used Emacs as our main text editor.
