When setting up a new shell environment, I take the following steps to create a space that literally works for me.
The command prompt tells me what machine I'm on, the path I'm in, Git status, virtual environment status, whether
the last command succeeded or not, and its elapsed time. Plugins tell me whether the command I'm typing is in my
path, and applies color to the command line arguments and man pages.
Install the following:
- Ghostty on Mac, terminator on Linux
- zsh
- Oh-my-zsh
