switch from bash to zsh

I finally came around to switch from bash to zsh. While reading hacker news I found a nice little setup on github: oh-my-zsh

Installation

Installation was quite easy:

1

	$ brew install zsh
	$ cd $HOME
	$ git clone https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh.git .oh-my-zsh
	$ sudo chsh -s /usr/local/bin/zsh yourusernamehere

NOTE: You may need to edit /etc/shells to have /usr/local/bin/zsh.

Configuration

I did very little configuration. All I really did is to choose a nice theme from the many available themes. Anyhow, my .zshrc looks like this:
