Zsh is an extension of the sh that contains a lot more features than the default bash shell installed on most systems.

For example, one of my new favorite features is being able to type in part of a command in your history and using the up-arrow to find it.

For example:

vim test.hi

Then typing vim and up-arrow will expand it to vim test.hi. Super handy when you have to type of long commands frequently.

Oh My Zsh is a community project that superpowers zsh which allows you to easily add plugins and themes. The theme I’m currently using is powerlevel10k which is a custom theme.

The list of plugins I have is:

• git
• colored-man-pages
• colorize
• command-not-found
• cp

• pip
