OhMyZsh for the win

Working with Docker and tinkering with computers means I’m spending more and more time in the terminal, whether on my (various) Macs or (various) ThinkPads.

For every command I do know, there are plenty I have to look up, often the so-called ’basics‘. So, when I find something that makes life just a little bit easier, it’s a win.

That something is OhMyZsh!

Oh My Zsh is a delightful, open source, community-driven framework for managing your Zsh configuration. It comes bundled with thousands of helpful functions, helpers, plugins, themes, and a few things that make you shout... "Oh My ZSH!"
