I’ll have to give starship a try, seems like a cool way to handle customizing the prompt
as to the “omz is bloat and slows down your shell”:
How slow? Because I’ve never noticed. Are we talking about waiting for 15 seconds when I should only have to wait for 1, or are we talking theory and the difference between 0.5 vs 0.08 seconds in benchmarks?
Because I’ve never been inconvenienced by the speed of my shell nor terminal emulator, despite having tried all kinds of setups. Turns out that “blazing fast” gpu accelerated terminal really didn’t make much of a difference on human timescales. Now I’m at the point where I appreciate the features over the performance.
In reply to Brody’s point, I’m inclined to say “yes, and…?”
OMZ automates a lot. Sure, I could follow his way of manulaly sourcing dozens of individual shellscripts and making my own aliases and have a zshrc 1200 lines long… Or I could just let omz handle it.
Yes it’s mostly just a plugin manager, and…? Yes it automates a process I could do manually, and… ? Yes, it uses bindings that I didn’t personally write, and… ?
Fuck off with the clickbait “You’re living your life wrong, do this lifehack instead!!!” (and the lifehack is to reinvent the wheel) bullshit
Here’s a fun real lifehack: try things out for yourself, don’t just listen to and parrot other people’s opinions, don’t be afraid to go against the grain. Way more fun and fulfilling that way!
Trust me, it’s noticeable. Or at least it was for me. Numbers wise, it doesn’t sound like much, but the difference between 0.05s and 0.5s (which are roughly the times I was experiencing) is very noticeable, at least for me. One is done before you’ve even fully lifted the finger off the key, while with the other you’re preparing to press (or maybe you’re already pressing pressing) the next key, by the time you see a reaction.

I have
cd && clearaliased ashomeLazy aliases unite!
exec $SHELL -lomz reloadnot going to say zsh is better than bash or fish, but oh-my-zsh does make it more attractive for some use-cases
omz is bloat and slows fown your shell a lot. Just do this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21_WkzBErQk
And I’d recommend starship for a custom prompt, it’s really good: https://starship.rs
Edit: For other ZSH nice-to-haves: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLEo4OQ-cuQ
