oh my zsh

Oh My Zsh is a popular zsh configuration manager, offering tons of themes, functions, helpers, plugins, and other handy features for command line users.

It’s used heavily by many who spend a lot of time in the command line, whether for development, administration, or just geeking around, so if you’re in those categories you may find it worth checking out.

While zsh is now the default shell in Terminal app for modern macOS releases, Oh My Zsh is separate, and therefore must be installed and configured separately.
