Alf - Out of this World Zsh
===========================
Alf is an out of this world super fast and configurable framework for [zsh][4]; it's modeled after [Prezto][1] and [Antigen][2]. The framework is currently utilizing [Oh My Zsh][3] (framework, plugins and themes) and optionally [Prezto's][1] plugins under the covers; and offers standard defaults, aliases, functions, auto completion, automated updates and installable prompt themes and plugins.
Why another framework?
----------------------
At my work I needed to support a similar shell environment across OS X, Windows, and Parallels (running a virtual machine with an OS X host). Originally I was able to get Cygwin running with [Oh My Zsh][3], but I wasn't really happy with the performance. So I started scripting and hacking around and learning Bash and [Zsh][4].
Installation
------------
Alf will work with any recent release of Zsh, but the minimum recommended version is 4.3.11.
### OS X ###
This method will setup everything you need:
```shell
\curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/psyrendust/alf/master/bootstrap/baseline.zsh | zsh
```
Or you can pass an optional argument to load a specific branch:
```shell
\curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/psyrendust/alf/master/bootstrap/baseline.zsh | zsh -s develop
```
Customization
-------------
The project is managed via [Git][6]. It is highly recommended that you fork this project; so, that you can commit your changes and push them to [GitHub][7] to not lose them. If you do not know how to use Git, follow this [tutorial][8] and bookmark this [reference][9].
Resources
---------
The [Zsh Reference Card][10] and the [zsh-lovers][11] man page are indispensable. [awesome-zsh-plugins](https://github.com/unixorn/awesome-zsh-plugins) is a list of zsh plugins and themes that you may also find useful.
