Throughout the years, I've been using zsh as my shell of choice. It's been a great experience and I've learned a lot about how to configure it to my liking. Here's my current zshrc
file for 2024.
I've commented each thing in the .zshrc
config. Some of the more personal information, but you can use this as a template for your own zshrc
file.
Place this in your ~/.zshrc
file and you should be good to go.

In particular, I've been using fzf
far more in my terminal workflow. It's truly made the experience much smoother, and eliminated quite a few painpoints. Can't recommend it enough.
