  • starship

    ☄🌌️ The minimal, blazing-fast, and infinitely customizable prompt for any shell!

  • Until now I have been using bash on Windows with Starship as the prompt. The only reason I went with Starship, is that it was easy to setup and at the time I did not have much free time to devout to the shell/prompt configuration.

  • ohmyzsh

    🙃 A delightful community-driven (with 2,300+ contributors) framework for managing your zsh configuration. Includes 300+ optional plugins (rails, git, macOS, hub, docker, homebrew, node, php, python, etc), 140+ themes to spice up your morning, and an auto-update tool so that makes it easy to keep up with the latest updates from the community.

  • Now, I do have free time and desire to learn how to customize and personalize my shell. I did some googling on how to set up zsh but found plenty of different takes, paths, recommended software, and whatnot (for example, (don't)re-install zsh using homebrew, (don't)use warp, (don't)install Oh My ZSH, and so on).
