Day 5 - More or less...

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/linuxupskillchallenge

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • ohmyzsh

    🙃 A delightful community-driven (with 2,300+ 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 so that makes it easy to keep up with the latest updates from the community.

  • We're using bash as our terminal shell for now (it is standard in many distros) but it is not the only one out there. If you want to test out zsh, fish or oh-my-zsh, you will see that there are a few differences and the features are usually the main differentiator. Try that, poke around.

  • tmux

    tmux source code

  • After that, you can go up a notch and try to have several shell sessions open at the same time in the same terminal window with a terminal multiplexer. Try screen - that's a little simpler and maybe too terse in the beginning - or tmux, that have many features and colors. There are so much material out there on "how to customize your tmux", have fun.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
