Unix CLI¶
Shell: Zsh¶
Zsh is a shell for Unix.
Configuration file: .zshrc.

Syntax Highlighting¶
Zsh-syntax-highlighting brings syntax highlighting to Zsh. Known commands and aliases are green, unknown are red.
Vi Mode¶
I use vi mode to bring vim keybindings to Zsh. To improve the experience, I also added vim keybindings to the tab complete menu,
changed the cursor shape for different modes, and mapped jk to exit insert mode.
Software¶
HomeBrew is an easy-to-use package manager with a large and up-to-date library. I use it in my installation script because it works on MacOS and any Linux distribution.
Installation script: run_install-unix.sh.tmpl.
