Solarized dircolors plugin for zsh.

Installation

Note that after installing this plugin, the terminal must be restarted or a new terminal session must be created.

Manual

I recommend using antigen, but it is also compatible with other plugin managers.

Oh-my-zsh

1. Clone this repository into $ZSH_CUSTOM/plugins (by default ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins)

   git clone --recursive git://github.com/joel-porquet/zsh-dircolors-solarized $ZSH_CUSTOM/plugins/zsh-dircolors-solarized

2. Add the plugin to the list of plugins for Oh My Zsh to load:

   plugins=(zsh-dircolors-solarized)

Usage

This plugin offers two commands:

• lssolarized which lists the available solarized themes. For now there are:

  • dircolors.ansi-universal (universal theme for 16- and 256-color terminals)
  • dircolors.ansi-dark (optimized version of universal for dark background)
  • dircolors.ansi-light (optimized version of universal for light background)
  • dircolors.256dark (degraded solarized dark theme)

• setupsolarized which installs a theme and saves the current configuration to the configuration file ($HOME/.zsh-dircolors.config by default). Without any argument, setupsolarized will use the theme dircolors.ansi-universal.

setupsolarized must be run at least once in order to create the configuration file. After doing so, the plugin will automatically load your configuration each time a zsh session is started.
