How to Use

1. Validation Scripts

Copy scripts to your home directory and run after completing each chapter:

# Challenge 3 — Validate all 9 plugins are installed
cp scripts/validate-plugins.sh ~/
zsh ~/validate-plugins.sh

# Challenge 4 — Validate VSCode terminal integration
cp scripts/validate-vscode-terminal.sh ~/
zsh ~/validate-vscode-terminal.sh

# Challenge 2 — Benchmark your themes
cp scripts/theme-benchmark.sh ~/
zsh ~/theme-benchmark.sh

# Boss Battle — Run the final scoring
cp scripts/boss-battle-validate.sh ~/
zsh ~/boss-battle-validate.sh

2. Setup Script (Boss Battle Reference)

The scripts/setup-terminal.sh is the reference implementation for the Boss Battle automated setup:

# Preview what it does
cp scripts/setup-terminal.sh ~/
chmod +x ~/setup-terminal.sh
~/setup-terminal.sh --dry-run

# Full install (use on a fresh machine)
~/setup-terminal.sh

# Rollback if needed
~/setup-terminal.sh --rollback ~/.zsh-backup-YYYYMMDDHHMMSS
