zsh4humans VS dotfiles

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.

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....

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Here's a couple from my vimrc.

All of my aliases are listed in my dotfiles at: https://github.com/nickjj/dotfiles/blob/master/.aliases

I handle both cases in my dotfiles: https://github.com/nickjj/dotfiles/blob/a29ced43dd384f7226aaf0c384f56951869d0435/.bashrc#L59-L76
