# EK545-CLI-Tools

### **Setup CLI Tools and Aliases Script**

This script installs useful CLI tools (`exa`, `bat`, `zoxide`, `zmux`) on Windows, sets permanent aliases, and configures your CLI environment.

#### **Features**

- Installs `exa` (enhanced `ls`), `bat` (better `cat`), `zoxide` (smart `cd`), and `zmux` (session manager).

- Sets aliases: `ls` → `exa`, `cat` → `bat`, `cd` → `zoxide`.

- Adds tools to the system `PATH`.

- Suggests alternative shell and terminal customization.

#### **Usage**

1. **Clone or download this repository.**

2. **Run the script in PowerShell with admin rights:**

```powershell

   ./setup-cli-tools.ps1

```

3. **Restart PowerShell to apply changes.**

#### **Using the Tools**

- **`exa`**: Replace `ls`. Example: `exa --long`

- **`bat`**: Replace `cat`. Example: `bat file.txt`

- **`zoxide`**: Replace `cd`. Example: `z projects`

- **`zmux`**: Manage sessions.

#### **Optional Customization**

- Install and configure [Oh My Posh](https://ohmyposh.dev) for a better shell prompt.

- Use Windows Terminal or [Alacritty](https://alacritty.org) for an enhanced terminal experience.
