ohmyzsh VS powerlevel10k

If you are using zsh with https://ohmyz.sh/, here is how you can easily get started with mise. (This for demonstration purpose only, if you are using another shell, go through the getting-started guide)

More info on this plugin can be found here.

Install zsh, switch bash to zsh as my shell and install oh-my-zsh

2. Oh my zsh https://ohmyz.sh

With plugins, you’ll enjoy streamlined Git commands, smarter auto-completions, and a generally enhanced terminal experience. Check out the full list of plugins here: https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/tree/master/plugins.

You can explore more Oh My Zsh plugins on the official wiki.

ZSH ZSH is a Unix shell same as the bash but with it, we can use some good features to improve our terminal and it's functions like a history of commands and highlights for us to know if we are writing the command right o no, that so good and help me a lot mainly when I need to use the CP command to copy something rs. To download the ZSH we just need to follow the steps that is on the ZSH's documentation, I'm using Ubuntu so for me is just run:

Honukai has long been my favorite iTerm, Oh My ZSH color theme, and I just assumed it existed for other use cases. But alas, I had to create them for myself. I adapted Oskar's work for Tabby terminal, ZED IDE and VS Code. You can get the files here.

In the terminal, I use the ZSH shell instead of the standard BASH, so the first link is ohmyzsh.

There are a lot of themes, with Powerlevel10k being the most popular and powerful. To install it, run:

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k.git ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-$HOME/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/themes/powerlevel10k

That’s the minimum terminal setup. You can modify the look and add plugins such as autocompletion to your terminal by installing ohmyzsh and using themes such as powerlevel10k. I am already using them.

I used ohmyzsh with powerlevel10k/powerlevel10k[0] for years though recently i've settled on fish [1]

I had just gone through a fun tutorial for setting up oh-my-zsh with a nice color scheme from iterm2colorschemes.com and a decent prompt and I was wondering: can I make my oblique strategy look nice? how can you actually use the colors from your scheme in the output in your cli?

A more robust way to do this would be to add simple wrappers that clone any external Zsh plugins you use regularly and store them in your own $ZSH_CUSTOM. For example, you say you like Powerlevel10k, so make that an OMZ plugin:

Looks like PowerLevel10 theme for Zsh shell

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k.git ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-$HOME/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/themes/powerlevel10k

Am i the only one who feels fish is not worth it despite of hype? Don't get me wrong. I think that fish is really good shell.

BUT...

After adding the following plugins to zsh(before you chime in, it's just adding these lines,not anything configuring much. also it auto bootstraps on new install), I found out that fish is no where near configured zsh.

1) https://github.com/zdharma-continuum/zinit (plugin manager)

2) https://github.com/zdharma-continuum/fast-syntax-highlightin...

3) https://github.com/zdharma-continuum/history-search-multi-wo...

4) https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions

5) https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-completions

6) https://github.com/Aloxaf/fzf-tab

7) any good shell prompt generator like https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k

For example, I use fzf integration for tab completion. Fish's fzf integration is nowhere as good as that of zsh's. Also, posix compat and almost bash compat of zsh is plus.

I acknowledge that zsh isn't perfect shell either and I have tried and failed few times in past to switch to fish. If you provide me compelling reason/s to switch to fish, I am all ears.
