"I don't like my terminal trying to sell me tshirts"

[devc_]

Very helpful, was looking forward for a video on configuring zsh

[parsakzr]

That's neat! I've been oh-my-zsh-free for a year, but I never thought about organizing it the way you did. Thanks Chris!

[i_am_ironman_]

You are absolutely awesome, not lot of people share what they knew but you are something special brother

[junebugcomputer]

Thank you. This was probably the most helpful zsh configuration video that I have come across. I am using the default Terminal in MacOS with some of the zsh configurations that you mentioned it's working like a charm without the need to install iTerm2 and Oh My Zsh.

Thanks Chris I really appreciate your work. Your channel is hidden gem for me.

7:54 : i would recommend setting XDG configuration in /etc/zsh/zshenv, so it is independent from window manager

[ubuntu]

Underrated channel. Thanks for this helpful video.

[yourdadsbestfriend]

this is crazy, as soon as i start to try and configure my zsh. thanks chris!

[ankitkumarsingh]

Take my word, you are underrated. Very helpful video. Thanks a lot.

[benary]

I thought I liked my zshrc. Now I will re-write it from scratch based on your configuration, so cool! Thanks for the video :)

[etherweb]

Still going to watch this for the background knowledge, but I've been very happy with running the zsh configuration script and using powerlevel10k for styling - ditched omyzsh ages ago.

[rubempacelli]

This video helped me a lot. I finally get rid of oh-my-zsh. Thank you very much!!

OBS: Thanks for suggesting me fzf and zoxide. These terminal programs make me ridiculously more efficient! :)

[ditchcomfort]

Just stunningly config. I feel I have everything up and up 👍🏻 Thank you for sharing, and finally I got rid of "Oh My Crap" too… 😜

[repoles]

Wow! I love the idea of zsh_add_plugin function. Thank you for sharing!

[uu]

Thanks, this video is really awesome!!
Your videos are hidden gem for me.

[MrCBroz]

Awesome work! Maybe add a note in the description pointing to your new vid on Zap, as it impacts a lot of what's here

[Nakhtiar]

Thanks for the tutorial and sources... Omw to ZSH without bloated fanmade stuffs...

[Neucher]

Can you please make a similar tutorial for bash as well ? A minimal bash setup with plugins.

[DragonnSteve]

Thank for your video, it's really helpful.
I've been using Zim for a long time and I decided to switch from this plugins manager to the manual installation like you do.
I copied and paste everything from your config and it works fine, but.. I was surprised by speed time.
I use zsh-autosuggestions, fast-syntax-highlighting and powerlevel10k prompt plugins.
Benchmarking is pretty easy:

for i in $(seq 1 10); do /usr/bin/time /bin/zsh -i -c exit; done;

When I use manual installation, like you do, it takes around 0.126-0.130 milliseconds to startup.
But Zim takes 0.115 - 0.119 milliseconds.
Hence, there is a very little difference between this two methods and in my experiment, manual installation is not faster than Zim
