Some tips 🚀

• Don't use oh-my-zsh, why?

  • it makes some things hard to modify
  • you have to learn how to change the prompt
  • if you don't know how it works, it's hard to make changes
  • you can do everything it does easily
• use a bare .zshrc - here is what i use - .zshrc
• get list of all alias -> print -rl -- ${(k)aliases}
• get list of all functions you use -> print -rl -- ${(k)functions}
• run the original command instead of the alias -> type it inside single quotes, e.g. - 'ls'
• is zsh starting slow?? - find out using /usr/bin/time zsh -i -c exit
