Quick start

$3

``shell
npm install -g typewritten
`

That's it. The script will make the necessary symlinks to fpath and set the prompt in your .zshrc.

$3

`shell
brew install typewritten
`

Then load typewritten in your .zshrc by using zsh prompinit:

`shell
autoload -U promptinit; promptinit
prompt typewritten
`

$3

Clone the typewritten repository somewhere you can easily link. I recommend creating a .zsh directory at root.

`shell
mkdir -p "$HOME/.zsh"
git clone https://github.com/reobin/typewritten.git "$HOME/.zsh/typewritten"
`

Load typewritten in your .zshrc by using zsh prompinit:

`shell
fpath+=$HOME/.zsh/typewritten
autoload -U promptinit; promptinit
prompt typewritten
`

Note: if using oh-my-zsh, set ZSH_THEME="" in your .zshrc to disable oh-my-zsh themes.

Many other ways to install typewritten are available in the docs

Customization

typewritten is customizable in many ways. To keep the readme file as lean as possible, the documentation was moved to https://typewritten.dev.

The documentation is separated into two parts:

- Prompt customization, everything to do with how and where the info is displayed
- Prompt color customization, set a custom color for any of the prompt sections
