Have a look at awesome Zsh. You can find pretty much everything there. If that’s too much, searching GitHub labels is a good way to find plugins by popularity (aka: number of stars).

I was just looking through this zsh "awesome list" looking for inspiration for stuff to try (i.e. procrastinating) and noticed this commit. Damn that was fast haha!

Speaking as a (fairly jaded) developer with commit access to Prezto, I tend to agree, though many of these monolithic frameworks solved the discovery problem - lots of built-in plugins let people just enable what they wanted rather than having to search around for what they were looking for. Other than large lists like awesome-zsh-plugins there's not a great way to find them, let alone know they're going to be maintained in the future.

If you want to see what plugins are available, you should start with Awesome Zsh Plugins: https://github.com/unixorn/awesome-zsh-plugins

Zsh is a superset of Bash. There's little-to-no learning curve from switching, if you just stick with Bash syntax, and many advantages.

Here is a good overview on Zsh vs. Bash [0].

My favorite Zsh feature is the plugin ecosystem [3]. Oh My Zsh [1] and Starship [2] are awesome.

To take things further, I recommend checking out this curated list of plugins.

No surprise here, if you never heard about zsh go replace you default bash my this shell, it offer a plugin system where the community coded a bunch of very useful tools

In addition, I think bash's `operate-and-get-next` can be very helpful. When you go back through your shell history, you can hit Ctrl+o instead of enter and it will execute the command then put the next one in your history on the command line, and keep track of where you are in your history. This way, you can rerun a bunch of commands by going to the first one and Ctrl+o till you are done. And you can edit those commands and hit Ctrl+o and still go to the next previously run command.

Note: fzf's history search feature breaks this. https://github.com/junegunn/fzf/issues/2399

fzf : https://github.com/junegunn/fzf

Those are the most used aliases in my gitconfig.

"git fza" shows a list of modified/new files in an fzf window, and you can select each file with tab plus arrow keys. When you hit enter, those files are fed into "git add". Needs fzf: https://github.com/junegunn/fzf

"git gone" removes local branches that don't exist on the remote.

"git root" prints out the root of the repo. You can alias it to "cd $(git root)", and zip back to the repo root from a deep directory structure. This one is less useful now for me since I started using zoxide to jump around. https://github.com/ajeetdsouza/zoxide

> my history is so noisy I had to find another way

The fzf search syntax can help, if you become familiar with it. It is also supported in atuin [2].

[1]: https://github.com/junegunn/fzf#search-syntax

[2]: https://docs.atuin.sh/configuration/config/#fuzzy-search-syn...

You call it with `n` and get an interactive fuzzy search for your directories. If you do `n ` instead, it’ll start the find with `` already filled in (and if there’s only one match, jump to it directly). The `ls` is optional but I find that I like having the contents visible as soon as I change a directory.

I’m also including iCloud Drive but excluding the Library directory as that is too noisy. I have a separate `nl` function which searches just inside `~/Library` for when I need it, as well as other specialised `n` functions that search inside specific places that I need a lot.

I do find the history pager stuff interesting, but ultimately not of tremendous use for me. I rebound all my history search stuff to use fzf[1] (via a fish plugin for such[2]), and so haven't been aware of the issues

You can also use fzf with ripgrep to great effect:
