  • Deeply scammy looking zsh plugin manager called "zi"
    3 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 8 Apr 2024
    I don’t use zsh plugin managers myself, but it looks like zinit already had the ability to update itself. Why on earth replace a working solution with a broken one? zi won’t be able to load plugins when the computer is offline for no good legitimate reason that I can possibly think of.

  • fish-shell: the user-friendly command-line shell
    24 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 26 Aug 2023
    Am i the only one who feels fish is not worth it despite of hype? Don't get me wrong. I think that fish is really good shell.

    BUT...

    After adding the following plugins to zsh(before you chime in, it's just adding these lines,not anything configuring much. also it auto bootstraps on new install), I found out that fish is no where near configured zsh.

    1) https://github.com/zdharma-continuum/zinit (plugin manager)

    2) https://github.com/zdharma-continuum/fast-syntax-highlightin...

    3) https://github.com/zdharma-continuum/history-search-multi-wo...

    4) https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions

    5) https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-completions

    6) https://github.com/Aloxaf/fzf-tab

    7) any good shell prompt generator like https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k

    For example, I use fzf integration for tab completion. Fish's fzf integration is nowhere as good as that of zsh's. Also, posix compat and almost bash compat of zsh is plus.

    I acknowledge that zsh isn't perfect shell either and I have tried and failed few times in past to switch to fish. If you provide me compelling reason/s to switch to fish, I am all ears.

  • Oh-my-zsh without oh-my-zsh?

    You can use a plugin manager that supports oh-my-zsh plugins and libraries such as zinit (my personal favorite). You can also take a look at my personal project zunder-zsh.

    If you want everything-and-the-kitchen-sink and don't mind that the original author bailed on the project in a way that was destructive to the Zsh community, then zinit is still around

    Zinit: Really quick plugin manager that loads multiple plugins via lazy loading, in parallel etc. It compiles the plugins upon installation.

    Yeah. My setup is basically zinit with p10k and it's instant even on an old phone on Termux.
