Matthew Martin d99aa58aaa test harness: Run each test as a single subshell. 
That allows tests to be completely independent of each other, so tests that
change global state — such as modify environment variables, define functions or
aliases, or hash commands — will not affect other tests, without needing an
explicit cleanup step.

This enables testing path-tilde-home with and without $HOME set, which is part
of issue #216.

While at it, convert the test harness to TAP.  This fixes issue #180 by adding
support for "not ok 42 # TODO" output.

This commit assumes that 'grep' supports POSIX-compliant -q and -v flags.

zsh-syntax-highlighting

Fish shell like syntax highlighting for Zsh.

Requirements: zsh 4.3.17+.

This package provides syntax highlighing for the shell zsh. It enables highlighing of commands whilst they are typed at a zsh prompt into an interactive terminal. This helps in reviewing commands before running them, particularly in catching syntax errors.

How to install

Using packages

In your ~/.zshrc

  • Clone this repository:

      git clone git://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting.git

    (or download a snapshot)

  • Source the script at the end of ~/.zshrc:

      source /path/to/zsh-syntax-highlighting/zsh-syntax-highlighting.zsh

  • Source ~/.zshrc to take changes into account:

      source ~/.zshrc

With oh-my-zsh

  • Download the script or clone this repository in oh-my-zsh plugins directory:

      git clone git://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting.git ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins/zsh-syntax-highlighting

  • Activate the plugin in ~/.zshrc:

      plugins=( [plugins...] zsh-syntax-highlighting)

  • Source ~/.zshrc to take changes into account:

      source ~/.zshrc

Note that zsh-syntax-highlighting must be the last plugin sourced, so make it the last element of the $plugins array.

FAQ

Why must zsh-syntax-highlighting.zsh be sourced at the end of the .zshrc file?

zsh-syntax-highlighting.zsh wraps ZLE widgets. It must be sourced after all custom widgets have been created (i.e., after all zle -N calls and after running compinit). Widgets created later will work, but will not update the syntax highlighting.

How are new releases announced?

There is currently no "push" announcements channel. However, the following alternatives exist:

How to tweak

Syntax highlighting is done by pluggable highlighter scripts, see the highlighters directory for documentation and configuration settings.
