  1. dotfiles

    My custom settings for various desktops (by kbknapp)

    Like many people, I keep all of my configuration files stored in a public dotfiles repository on GitHub. It's a bit of a mess as I only use particular parts on particular machines. So it's not meant to be publicly read or analyzed. However, my point is that the configuration files are stored in a central location where I can simply clone the repository down to my machine, symlink the files or directories I care about and want to use and go about my day.

  3. baseline

    Workstation baseline tool (by kbknapp)

    Aside: I actually have a baseline set of scripts that do all the copying/symlinking for me based on a TUI dialog I fill out. To be clear, this is in no way meant to be publicly consumed as many of the steps are hard-coded for my specific machines.

  4. ohmyzsh

    🙃 A delightful community-driven (with 2,400+ 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 that makes it easy to keep up with the latest updates from the community.

  5. zsh-abbrev-alias

    This zsh plugin provides functionality similar to Vim's abbreviation expansion.

    $ git clone https://github.com/momo-lab/zsh-abbrev-alias ~/.config/zsh-abbrev-alias/ $ echo 'source $HOME/.config/zsh-abbrev-alias/abbrev-alias.plugin.zsh' >> ~/.zshrc

  6. powerlevel10k

    $ git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k.git ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-$HOME/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/themes/powerlevel10k

  8. starship

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

    The demo site has a great GIF showing all the features and the why. As well as how to configure all the various items. I have a customized prompt, but the default is perfectly acceptable as well.
