My ~/.zshrc configuration

Here's the contents of my ~/.zshrc file. Sometimes I add more depending on my use case but these are the basics!

• The first two are for easier access to .zshrc and sourcing it. It can get a bit annoying to type out each time.
• Then there's basic commands to navigate the folder structure and git commands.
• jlaunch is for launching Jekyll, which is a template framework which I use for this website. The command wipes the existing "build" from the directory and starts up a local server on http://127.0.0.1:4000.
• venv is a very useful program that allows a directory to have its own Python setup. You can set the version and which packages to install. No other folder will be affected!
• I also customized my terminal prompt to be an emote since it's shorter :)
• Finally, I append Ruby paths to the PATH environment variable.
