Top 23 Shell zsh-configuration Projects

ohmyzsh
🙃 A delightful community-driven (with 2,500+ contributors) framework for managing your zsh configuration. Includes 300+ optional plugins (rails, git, macOS, hub, docker, homebrew, node, php, python, etc), 140+ themes to spice up your morning, and an auto-update tool that makes it easy to keep up with the latest updates from the community.
We've all been there. You install Zsh, and the very next recommendation you see online is to install Oh-My-Zsh. For a long time, I did exactly that. But over time, the "magic" of heavy frameworks started to wear thin.

Shell: I use Zsh with zinit, Powerlevel10k, zoxide, and fzf. I still use a bunch of aliases for Git, Docker, package management, Jekyll, and local AI tools.
