QUESTIONS...?

'cd' without any dot or parameter brings you always back to home.

I like it! Mine is a bit different because I use everything on the terminal; I use it as my text editor, I use it as a file-manager, system-manager, ect.
I use fish as my shell and alacritty as my emulator. They're pretty different so that's why I enjoyed watching your config.

Hyper is EXACTLY the minimalism I was searching for.

Awesome video! Love the in depth explanations. Just wanted to let others know that Fig is now with Amazon Q which combines AI as well. Just now trying it out but looks super fun!

To reload ZSH configration, run `source ~/.zshrc`

6:05 I think you are looking for "pwd" :)

[duscraftphoto]

I love “Oh My ZSH”! Great video and I found some new fun stuff to try out!

[mrlordbrutish]

FYI it's `pwd`, not `cwd`. I think you were having a little Python moment there.

I am using Airplane theme for almost more than 4 years now and still my goto OZSH theme + FiraCode font. For my plugins, these are standard for me on any setup: git, zsh-syntax-highlighting, zsh-autosuggestion, colorize and jump

I was an Hyper user until MS released the new Command Prompt. It is very good.

`fig` is electron, monitor your terminal and eat at least 1GB memory. TAB completion is fast, local, and up-to-date. No need to use `fig` at all!

I really wanted to use Hyper, it looks great, i tried, but because the fact that it uses Electron, it is slow (at least on my PC). One of the annoyances is when i was about to close the window and the program just crash and i had to manually kill the process. Not only that, but with Edge, VS Code and Hyper opened, that's pretty much 3 whole browsers consuming entirely my 8GBs of RAM.

thanks for this. I usually use iterm2 but for my m2 mac I wanted to use something different and this video helped me setup a cool terminal

Awesome video! Would love to see a new Svelte video, I know that Vite is the build tool used now, and would love to have a step by step walkthrough on setting up a new Svelte project from scratch.

[ScottMackey]

Nice video. This stuff is down to preference. FYI
Fish shell give features like Fig plus a lot more out of box.
Terminals, suggest Kitty or Alacritty 2 of the hottest right now.
Advance Prompt, suggest Starship

I tried hyper and didn't like it since only benifit I found from using it is that the configuration is really straight forward. It's kinda slow and uses a lot of ram since is electron based. Right I'm using WezTerm since its fast, cross platform (I use Windows and Linux), written in rust (the godsend of programming languages) and REALLY customizable.

[no_bs_science]

and what's the difference from a standard terminal utility?

OR you can install Iterm2 and configure all the options from the UI in a few seconds
+ install zsh + oh-my-zsh + powerlevel10k + zsh autocomplete plugin
and that's it

iterm2 has much more support, faster, more customizable, packed with a lot of features

[kotted]

Nah, man. Terminal in electron is the last thing I want my terminal to be

[ribeiro.evandro]

Amazing video. I tried using Hyper, but my Macbook Pro is a 2012 model and it didn't work well. The machine gets too hot, but I bought a MacBook Air M1 and I will test it again, I will use your video as a base. Thanks for sharing!

Who the hell sees an electron terminal and thinks "oh hell yeah!"
