Is anyone else mostly rolling with the zsh (not oh-my-zsh) defaults? After so many years of using Bash I switched to zsh almost a year ago. I use the vanilla zsh set up with 2 plugins: - https://github.com/zdharma-continuum/fast-syntax-highlightin... for very good and fast syntax highlighting - https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions for auto-suggestions I don't use a plugin manager, instead I put together a ~20 line shell script[0] which handles either cloning or pulling plugins, then you can load them in your zshrc[1]. I haven't found the need for anything else and my whole dev environment is based on using tmux, terminal Vim, etc.. Basically I spend a lot of time there in my day to day. I started with the idea of "less is more" and planned to add more things over time but the time to add new things hasn't come yet. [0] https:/
