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.

At some point, perhaps ~10 years ago, I was introduced to ZSH with the venerable Oh My ZSH framework. For me, this was a huge awakening because it taught me about how much shell improvements can impact your life. I gradually evolved my ZSH setup to use package managers like antigen and began to invest more in creature comforts.
Since I'm a big fan of toolchains as code, I've fallen in love with volta for managing my Node.js and Yarn versions. Don't forget commands like volta pin in Node.js projects to lock in versions to your package.json file!
I use zoxide to quickly switch to recently used directories, or to paths which I use particularly commonly. It can be hard to remember to use z instead of cd but once you get the hang of it you'll never go back.
Even though ls is a good-old standby, I prefer the aliases for ll and la that rely on exa. These aliases default to showing important information like git status and can even prevent me from needing to launch subsequent, exploratory commands.
My setup relies heavily on rbenv since I use Ruby for automation all over the place.
The Starship prompt is a terrific alternative to slower prompts written in pure shell. It supports a whole variety of status features, is quite performant, and has easy-to-understand configuration options.
Tools like skim work great with others like fd to provide additional functionality when it comes to locating files and filtering through search results. I also use skim's sk command pretty heavily in other scripts when interactivity is required.
