starship VS zsh4humans

Agreed, I use this in conjunction with Starship [1], both initialized specifically for Fish in the config. I love this shell so much.

starship is the new spaceship, yo

It seems like the Rust community is quite happy to support alternative shells. I’ve seen couple of projects, now, that support way more esoteric shells than I would expect, like ’xonsh’. Starship (https://starship.rs/) immediately comes to mind.

Until now I have been using bash on Windows with Starship as the prompt. The only reason I went with Starship, is that it was easy to setup and at the time I did not have much free time to devout to the shell/prompt configuration.

I'm staying on BitstromWera Nerd Font. Works great with Starship.

I use conditional includes for this, but I also add a single letter describing which Git identity I'm currently using to my PS1 so that it appears before $ in my shell prompt. This prevents me from committing code with the wrong identity, in case I'm using a git checkout that's anywhere not covered by the conditional include rules.

I use Starship (https://starship.rs) to manage my prompt, and wrote a short script that only runs if I'm somewhere in a git repo, and if so finds my Git user's email and looks up the corresponding letter in an associative array declared in my ~/.config/starship-zsh/.zshenv:

    git_email=$(git config --get user.email | perl -pe 'chomp if eof')

You can find specific examples of autoload +X in https://github.com/romkatv/zsh4humans/tree/v5.

zsh4humans (from the creator of Powerlevel10k)

But I like the Powerlevel10k zsh theme with the Lean Style a bit more than that. I'm using it with his configurable zsh setup as my base + zcomet plugin manager. Otherwise they're pretty similar as far as general looks & use goes.

Docs are here and here. I wouldn't recommend trying zsh4humans if you aren't already comfortable with zsh configs. If you do decide to try it, read all tips linked above and follow as many as you can. The default experience is decent but it's far cry from what you can achieve with a personally tailored config.

OMZ is slow, been using zinit since it came out because OMZ and antigen were so slow to start up. Recently I found zsh4humans [1] which benchmarks much better than any other solution, is portable, and has everything I need with sane configs.

If you are trying zsh4humans, make sure to read https://github.com/romkatv/zsh4humans/blob/master/tips.md and follows as many tips as possible.

If you want to try a different preconfigured shell environment, big names are Prezto and zsh4humans. Prezto, like OMZ, comes with a plugin manager built in; zsh4humans does not.
