    β˜„πŸŒŒοΈ The minimal, blazing-fast, and infinitely customizable prompt for any shell!

    Without a doubt, xsv. It's fast, extremely-intuitive, and integrates well with other shell tools.

    πŸ€– Just a command runner

    I really like using `just` (https://github.com/casey/just), it's like make, but better

    Nushell. It's my go-to shell now.

    htop with graphs zenith

    pdu is dust but much faster
