    ☄🌌️ The minimal, blazing-fast, and infinitely customizable prompt for any shell!

    I chose iTerm2 instead of the default terminal on OSX. iTerm2 has many colour schemes, is customised a little and uses GPU support rendering. My shell is ZSH with Oh-my-zsh and Starship. Starship shows a whale in the terminal, it is very cool!. BlexMono Nerd Font is my choice font.

  • LunarVim

    🌙 LunarVim is an IDE layer for Neovim. Completely free and community driven.

    As a Backend Developer, I chose Neovim, extract LunarVim is the primary editor for Go and NodeJS, sometimes I also write HCL, config file like YAML. With LunarVim you have an editor like VSCode but faster, smaller and customizer than VSCode. I use Gruvbox scheme with Lunarvim

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • ohmyzsh

    🙃 A delightful community-driven (with 2,200+ 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.

  • HomeBrew

    🍺 The missing package manager for macOS (or Linux)

    First of all, I installed homebrew - package management in OSX. Yes, many tools below use brew installed, I don't want you pkg files, instead of the use command line.
