z.lua VS ohmyzsh

https://github.com/skywind3000/z.lua is quite nice and has more features, e.g. fzf integration and an interactive mode.

Then install: - z.lua - better cd - exa - better ls - trash - rm deletes completely - trash moves files to trash, so you can recover them - massren - absolutely the best file/folder renamer (especially for devs) - tldr - better than man

wget https://github.com/skywind3000/z.lua/raw/master/ranger_zlua.pyi && chmod +x ~/.config/ranger/plugins/ranger_zlua.py

z.lua

I personally use z.lua, but if you're a Rust fan there's also zoxide. Both are multi-platform and highly configurable.

With z you can CD into a directory like ~/Documents/Foo/Bar/Baz by executing z baz.

I used to keep some directory bookmarks with apparix, but nowadays I just use z.lua.

Currently zabb mainly supports the zoxide implementation of z. It works ok with z.lua, fasd and z, but may not find the shortest abbreviations for those. It may work for other implementations if they support the z -e command. I welcome PRs to expand zabb to other implementations.

If you are not using oh-my-zsh, you are missing out on some amazing plugins. One feature most people wish the terminal had is autocompletion. With the zsh-autosuggestions plugin, your terminal will autocomplete most commands and remember previous ones.

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.

Somewhat related is "Oh My ZSH!" which is basically zsh on steroids, it's always one of the first things I install on a new computer. It gives things like new colors, themes, plugins, and more. Highly recommend you check it out.

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?

After this you going to visit Oh-My-Zsh which is where the magic will happen.

after automating my dotfiles, I want to automate my installations, after that I want to make my terminal easier to use so I add OMZ with many plugins, after that, I try to automate the backup of my setting on my Gnome but failed, then try using git-lfs for my big files but it turned out to be idiotic moves, bla bla bla many try and fail.
