grmlzshrc(5)
grmlzshrc(5) is a manpage providing detailled information about grml’s zsh configuration. On the grml system it is available offline via man grmlzshrc. An online version is available as well:
grml-zsh-config
You do not have to use grml/Debian to use grml’s zsh configuration. Just retrieve and install the configuration files in your home directory via executing for example:
# IMPORTANT: please note that you might override an existing
# configuration file in the current working directory! =>
wget -O .zshrc https://grml.org/console/zshrc
# Optionally also grab the user configration:
# wget -O .zshrc.local https://grml.org/console/zshrc.local
Also take a look at grml-config.shwhich is described in more detail on mika’s blog.
Tip: Archlinux users may use anofficial grml-zsh-config package.
