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

- Visidata

- z (https://github.com/rupa/z)

- fzf

- vim

- Fastmail

- WireGuard

- draw.io

- PowerShell (it’s difficult to overstate how much PS has improved Windows system administration)

- Microsoft PowerToys

- WSL (alternating joy and extreme frustration)

- Home Assistant

- Airfoil

For even more power use z

- quickly jump to recent directory: https://github.com/rupa/z - however I find it kinda annoying it seems to forget/ignore(?) directories, anyone know of a better version of this?

- quickly opening my personal wiki: https://github.com/francium/dotfiles/blob/master/bin/.local/...

- re-run a script when a file changes: https://github.com/francium/dotfiles/blob/master/bin/.local/...

For `while-watchdo` you, you run it like `while-watchdo "echo hi"`, then in my editor, I have a custom shortcut that does `touch .watchfile` causing the command, in this case `echo hi` to run. I prefer this to tools that retrigger commands as soon as you save _any_ file. Also works in docker containers, edit a file on host, command runs in a container.

2) Well friend, this is where you can have the best of both of worlds. You can just open the file explorer via the CLI. Typically you'll have the xdg-open command that opens the directory in your default file browser. I have that aliased to xdgo. So you can navigate quickly to where you need to be, and then open it visually with xdgo . . There's also other really convenient navigation tools like z (https://github.com/rupa/z) that I can't imagine going without anymore.

I would like to know how you use the terminal and nvim in your daily workflow. Here is mine: I have a shortcut (with raycast) to open alacritty full screen from anywhere. I open alacritty and start the tmux (create work and personal sessions). Then using z navigate to the desired project. Next, I have a bash script pde that opens nvim, and 2 terminal splits below. Nvim opens with alpha-nvim (startify theme). For file explorer I use lir.nvim. Fuzzy finding using fzf-lua. I have harpoon but don't use it very often, instead, I manage buffers with fzf-lua and vim-bbye. When working on multiple files I usually have 2-4 vsplits. I do git stuff mostly using vim-fugitive (gv.vim, resetting hunks with gitsigns.nvim), occasionally git commands from another tmux window. I use auto-save.nvim. My most used command is :F (lsp.bug.format). For movements I use Ctrl+D/U/O/I/, sometimes relative line jumping. Other often movements [q,]q (quickfix jumps), [d,]d (diagnostics jumps), [c,]c (Gitsigns hunks). Alacritty + Neovim view

For general filesystem navigation in my terminal, I'm using z command. But for finer control, I am using the following commands.

z

Do you know about the program z? https://github.com/rupa/z

https://github.com/rupa/z is an awesome command to teleport to your most used directories. It's really handy to jump from a project to another.
