    :zap: A new cd command that helps you navigate faster by learning your habits.

    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

    I'd start with fish before you waste years configuring zsh or bash.
