  • powerlevel10k

    A Zsh theme

    The most popular standalone prompt/theme is likely powerlevel10k (disclaimer: my project).

  • awesome-zsh-plugins

    A collection of ZSH frameworks, plugins, themes and tutorials.

    Have a look at awesome Zsh. You can find pretty much everything there. If that’s too much, searching GitHub labels is a good way to find plugins by popularity (aka: number of stars).

  • zsh-utils

    If you are just looking for a recommendation, I have been telling people starting out to have a look at belak/zsh-utils. Zsh-Utils is a core set of basic Zsh config plugins to get your history, completion, and prompt set up without all the extra bloat of frameworks like Prezto/OMZ, and it’s written by a Prezto maintainer.

  • zsh-defer

    Deferred execution of Zsh commands

  • I use about 12 plugins, most of which I've written myself.

  • SaaSHub

  • zimfw

    Zim: Modular, customizable, and blazing fast Zsh framework

    More on topic, I use zim, but mostly write my own plugins/modules/ad-hoc/post-hoc scripts
