Features

• A simple but informative Git prompt (all the pre-made ones I could find were either too busy or too uninformative for my purposes).
  • Shows the current branch name or commit id.
  • Color-coding by status: clean, clean but not pushed, uncommitted.
• reload! to source ~/.zshrc
• Safeguard aliases for destructive shell commands
• desktop (show/hide) to show/hide the Desktop (for Macs)
• hidden_files (show/hide) to show/hide hidden files (Macs)
• update_homebrew to run brew update, upgrade, cleanup, and doctor
• github init to initialize a GitHub repo for the current Git repo and push to it
• git create to initialize a git repo and and then call github init

Originally forked from Jake Romer's dotfiles, themselves forked from Thoughtbot's dotfiles. I have sinced moved them to a new repository, but many of the functions, etc. are theirs.
