## Installation

To set up Oh My Zsh in Termux, follow these steps:

Install required packages:
```shell
pkg install zsh git curl wget
```

Install Oh My Zsh using the official installer:
```shell
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)"
```

Set Zsh as the default shell:
```shell
chsh -s zsh
```

Restart Termux for changes to take effect. 
Recommended Enhancements:
Use a modern theme like Powerlevel10k:
```shell
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k.git ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-$HOME/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/themes/powerlevel10k
```


Then, in ~/.zshrc, set:
```shell
ZSH_THEME="powerlevel10k/powerlevel10k"
```


Install Powerline fonts for proper icons (optional but recommended):
```shell
pkg install fontconfig
mkdir -p ~/.termux/font
cd ~/.termux/font
curl -sSLO https://github.com/powerline/fonts/raw/master/SourceCodePro/Source%20Code%20Pro%20for%20Powerline.otf
cd -
termux-reload-settings
```

Enable useful plugins (e.g., zsh-autosuggestions, zsh-syntax-highlighting):
```shell
git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-autosuggestions
git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting.git ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-syntax-highlighting
```


Add plugins to ~/.zshrc:
plugins=(git zsh-autosuggestions zsh-syntax-highlighting)

Reload configuration:
```shell
source ~/.zshrc
```


For a complete setup, consider using scripts like adi1090x/termux-omz or Sohil876/Termux-zsh for automated installation of Zsh, Oh My Zsh, Powerlevel10k, and additional tools.
