I feel like I must be the only HN person who doesn’t really care what shell I use.

It used to be that I’d end up on older systems with only cshell as the default. So immediately would install bash for what I had expected to be default behavior by that point.

zsh never clicked for me though, until I used oh-my-zsh, which allows for sharing custom extensions from folks. And it’s great, and superior to bash.

I used to not care, but these little improvements are worth it.

I recommend Oh My Zsh with the zsh-autosuggestions [1] and zsh-syntax-highlighting [2] plugins.
