Pimp your CLI

• NvChad

  187 22,887 8.8 Lua

  Blazing fast Neovim config providing solid defaults and a beautiful UI, enhancing your neovim experience.

  

NeoVim was released in 2014 as a fork of VIM that adds support for Lua. Just like its predecessor, there is quite the learning curve, but the payoff as a keyboard-first editor is truly rewarding. You have endless options to customize your setup and I encourage you to start by changing individual things to your liking (like tabs vs spaces) and to make a custom configuration of your own. Lua is already popular as a systems language so it was a good replacement for vimscript and it makes it easier to write plugins in comparison which means there is a good selection of plugins available for Neovim. Its easy to get option paralysis with the vast amount of customization and plugins, so there’s popular configurations of neovim that put together a nice UI with modern IDE functionalities and we can start with those like AstroNvim and NvChad.

As a developer, the command line is one of the tools you will be using most frequently. It can be intimidating to venture into the world of CLI tooling but I can assure you it is one of the most rewarding experiences too. In this post I want to walk ya'll through my personal CLI setup. It is based on 3 technologies which I'll coin as the "Holy Trinity" of the command line: TMUX, ZSH, & Neovim.

If any of the plugins fails to install you can always use this same mechanism of cloning the repo and calling "install" after. Make sure to checkout Tmux's Awesome list for more.

• ohmyzsh

  559 168,701 9.5 Shell

  🙃 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.

  

ZShell is an alternative to bash a.k.a. "Bourne-Again SHell". It does everything that bash does and just like Tmux it is extensible via a healthy plugin ecosystem. By this point I hope you have already tried to run zsh on your terminal. At first it won't look like much has changed but with the right plugins this can become your best friend on the command line. The first thing we need to do is to install oh-my-zsh, a framework on top of zsh that manages configs, plugins, themes, and more.
