Oh My Zsh
Yep, I use zsh with 2 plugins. One for syntax highlighting commands and another for showing auto-suggestions. It's really fast. The rest is nearly a default zsh set up in terms of zsh configuration. Everything is documented in my dotfiles https://github.com/nickjj/dotfiles.
My prompt is a 1 liner that shows your git branch as well as coloring up $ to be red or not based on if the last command failed. Coincidentally I just released a blog post today on coloring up your prompt based on if the last command failed at https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/color-your-shell-prompt-red-i....

Ask HN: How do you sync your computers development configurations/environment?
I stole/copied my setup from Nick Janetakis who's just great all around. Its worked for me through several new systems and many updates.

vim-dirtytalk: spellcheck dictionary for programmers ๐
If anyone is looking for a word list of programming terms I have one with 500+ words in my dotfiles at https://github.com/nickjj/dotfiles/blob/master/.vim/spell/en.utf-8.add.

Zim โ The Zsh configuration framework with blazing speed and modular extensions
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.

Newbie here, how should i use vim on windows ? gvim or wsl 2 vim ?
My set up is documented at https://github.com/nickjj/dotfiles and I have a bunch of Vim related videos at https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/tag/vim-tips-tricks-and-tutorials.

New job, windows computer. I tried to use VisualStudo code, but I got back to vim anyway
This is what I've been doing for years (WSL 2). It's really solid if you combine tmux with terminal Vim. My dotfiles work exactly the same on my native Linux device as WSL 2 and it's fast too.

NuShell - Ceci n'est pas une |
These are just three small examples of what this shell written in Rust allows. The features are many and many more, but I'll leave it up to you to discover and enjoy them; I'm currently playing around with it and it's giving me a lot of satisfaction and immediacy, now it has a fixed place among the tools I use when working! The project is Open Source, so if you want to contribute, I invite you, as always, to do so, I leave you the link to the repo here!

Fish shell 3.7.0: last release branch before the full Rust rewrite
Any thoughts on fish as compared to nushell [0]? It's similar to PowerShell in its philosophy and is also written in Rust.

jc: Converts the output of popular command-line tools to JSON
> In PowerShell, structured output is the default and it seems to work very well.
PowerShell goes a step beyond JSON, by supporting actual mutable objects. So instead of just passing through structured data, you effectively pass around opaque objects that allow you to go back to earlier pipeline stages, and invoke methods, if I understand correctly: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsof....
I'm rather fond of wrappers like jc and libxo, and experimental shells like https://www.nushell.sh/. These still focus on passing data, not objects with executable methods. On some level, I find this comfortable: Structured data still feels pretty Unix-like, if that makes sense? If I want actual objects, then it's probably time to fire up Python or Ruby.
Knowing when to switch from a shell script to a full-fledged programming language is important, even if your shell is basically awesome and has good programming features.

Ripgrep is faster than {grep, ag, Git grep, ucg, pt, sift}
Maybe if the "popular" shells, but http://www.nushell.sh/ is looking better and better

jq 1.7 Released
Yeah agreed, especially now that PowerShell is available cross-platform.
Nushell[1] also seems like a promising alternative, but I havenโt had a chance to play with it yet.

The Case for Nushell
I also discovered an existing discussion[1] related to this topic which includes a link[2] to a "helper to call nushell nuon/json/yaml commands from bash/fish/zsh" and a comment[3] that the current nushell dev focus is "on getting the experience inside nushell right and [we] probably won't be able to dedicate design time to get the interface of native Nu commands with an outside POSIX shell right and stable.".

I appreciate what projects like Nushell and Murex are trying to address, but having a saner scripting language and passing structured data in pipelines is not worth the drawbacks for me.
For one, Bash scripting is not so bad if you set some sane defaults and use ShellCheck. Sure, it has its quirks, but all languages do. Even so, the same golden rule applies: use a "real" programming language if your problem exceeds a certain level of complexity. This is relative and will depend on your discomfort threshold, but using the right tool for the job is always a good practice. No matter how good the shell language is, I would hesitate to write and maintain a complex project in it.
And for general QoL improvements with interactive use, Zsh is a fine shell, while still being POSIX compatible.

Simple PowerShell things allowing you to dig a bit deeper than usual
I found nushell (https://www.nushell.sh) to be an impressive replacement "bash" for Windows
In terms of philosophy, think "Powershell but actually intuitive" : Every data is structured but command names are what you expect them to be. I usually don't even need to look at the documentation.
I liked it so much that I also replaced my shell on Linux with it, so I have the same terminal experience across all OSes
