Cobalt2 for iTerm2 and ZSH

• cobalt2.itermcolors is Cobalt2 theme for iTerm2 - This makes things blue and yellow.
• cobalt2.zsh-theme is the custom prompt for oh-my-zsh. It makes that cool line with folder and git status.

They work well together! You will need to install the patched powerline font as well: https://github.com/powerline/fonts

Step-by-step installation

1. Drop the cobalt2.zsh-theme file in to the ~/.oh-my-zsh/themes/ directory.

2. Open up your ZSH preferences at ~/.zshrc and change the theme variable to ZSH_THEME="cobalt2".

3. Install Powerline and necessary fonts, one way is using PIP

• For first time PIP users refer to this PIP installation guide
• To install Powerline using pip

pip install --user powerline-status

• Now install all necessary fonts by downloading or cloning git repository.

git clone https://github.com/powerline/fonts
cd fonts
./install.sh

note: if you are using iTerm2, they now have a checkbox for Powerline fonts Profiles → Text.

3. In iTerm2 access the Preferences pane on the Profiles tab.
4. Under the Colors tab import the cobalt2.itermcolors file via the Load Presets drop-down.
5. Under the Text tab change the font for each type (Regular and Non-ASCII) to 'Inconsolata for Powerline'. (Refer to the powerline-fonts repo for help on font installation.)
6. Refresh ZSH by typing source ~/.zshrc on the command line.
7. If you want the full blown tabs and everything shown in the screenshot, use the Profile in Cobalt2.json.

2. Open up your ZSH preferences at ~/.zshrc and change the theme variable to ZSH_THEME="cobalt2".
