Terminal Productivity with ZSH and Oh-My-Zsh
Sep 12, 2024
Turn your terminal into a productivity powerhouse. Plugins, themes, and aliases that save me hours every week.
If you live in the terminal like I do, the default Bash shell might feel a bit limited. Enter Z Shell (ZSH).
Installation
On Ubuntu/Debian:
sudo apt install zsh
chsh -s $(which zsh)Oh-My-Zsh
Oh My Zsh is a delightful, open source, community-driven framework for managing your Zsh configuration.
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)"Essential Plugins
Enable these in your .zshrc:
- zsh-autosuggestions: Suggests commands as you type based on history.
- zsh-syntax-highlighting: Enables highlighting of commands while they are typed.
plugins=(git docker kubectl zsh-autosuggestions zsh-syntax-highlighting)With these tools, my terminal experience is faster, smarter, and way better looking.
