My terminal/shell

Just a quick post about what my terminal looks like these days. Some things I value in my terminal: Good looking/easy on the eyes (using color-theme solarized )  Being able to bootstrap my setup fairly quickly on new machines Portable setup between OSX/ iterm2 (at work) and Ubuntu Terminal (at home) Good git support I strap the boot by cloning my prefs (collection of my environment/config files) into my home-dir (I still have to manually install zsh at some point): git clone git://gitorious.org/testing-git/prefs.git And then "deploy" the config files into my environment: cd prefs ./deploy.sh Now I could've probably used puppet for boostrapping this on new machines, but so far I've managed with just a little deploy.sh that copies the files into the right places, and a reverse-deploy.sh that copies them back into my  prefs  dir after I have played around with making changes locally. I use zsh , assisted heavily by the  oh-my-zsh
