Terminal Setup

Default terminal ugly and slow. Fix in 10 minutes.

Step 1: Pick Better Terminal
Ditch default CMD or Mac terminal.

Windows: Windows Terminal

Mac: Ghostty or iTerm2

Linux: Alacritty or Kitty

Step 2: Install Shell
Use Zsh or Fish. Easy auto-suggestions and fast navigation.

Bash
`

Mac/Linux

brew install zsh
Step 3: Add Prompt
Install Starship prompt. Works on all shells, shows Git status, node version, Python env instantly.
`
Bash

curl -sS https://starship.rs/install.sh | sh
Done. Terminal fast, readable, useful.
