zsh-history-substring-search VS pure

How does this differ from https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-history-substring-search ? Except that yours seems to be built-in and zsh-history-substring-search is ~800 lines of zsh

git clone --depth 1 "https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-history-substring-search" $HOME/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins/zsh-history-substring-search

Agreed, but also https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-history-substring-search for me.

I can't life without this one anymore

It is the feature of fish shell, which is also ported to zsh via zsh-history-substring-search plugin.

zsh-history-substring-search: This is a clean-room implementation of the Fish shell's history search feature, where you can type in any part of any command from history and then press chosen keys, such as the UP and DOWN arrows, to cycle through matches.

In most shells, you can make use of Ctrl+R to perform backwards search through your history. After pressing Ctrl+R, you can type a substring you want to match for commands in your history. As you keep pressing it, you will cycle through the matches in your history. This can also be enabled with the UP/DOWN arrows in zsh.

That doesn't have the same behavior as fish. This plugin does: https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-history-substring-search

zsh-history-substring-search allows you to do the same thing in zsh

In that case, history substring search can come in handy.

if you're going to use a fork of zdharma's work, this one might be better https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-history-substring-search (maintained by a group)

Run p10k configure and choose Lean style. Pure style is inferior in all respects. It exists to make https://github.com/sindresorhus/pure users feel at home.

git clone "$HOME/.zsh/pure" downloads Pure from GitHub. Here we tell git where to download from ("https://github.com/sindresorhus/pure.git") and where to put the downloaded files ("$HOME/.zsh/pure")

I've been using pure theme for a few years and absolutely love it. It shows me everything I need, but doesn't feel cluttered.

It uses 2 lines, which is actually really nice. It gives space to show where you are and git status/branch, while still allowing you to write long commands.

I’ve always been pretty happy with https://github.com/sindresorhus/pure

hey I am trying to install the Pure prompt but I am unable to do so using npm I tried to find an alternative made for oh my zsh method so I tried to do this but it results in an error saying that the pure theme can not be found even though I can see the symlink in the themes folder all I did different from this was to clone it into the themes folder so please help thanks in advance

My favorite for this purpose is pure prompt: https://github.com/sindresorhus/pure

I wasn’t sure about multi line at first, but really digging it now.

https://github.com/sindresorhus/pure has been my go-to for years. Haven't found a reason to change.
