I've been looking around for the best ways to do it and I've find out that Oh-My-Zsh is one of the most popular ways to do it This is still very true. As far as the Zsh ecosystem goes, OMZ has a popularity unmatched in other alternatives. It's actively developed, there's tons of help and resources, and it's generally considered a good starter kit for Zsh that will grow with you. You may find that you want to switch someday, but you may find it never stops being a useful part of your shell tooling. Has Oh-My-Zsh's slowness and bloat been solved? Solved? No. Mitigated? Yes. If you're willing to use the excellent Powerlevel10k prompt, it has a feature called instant-prompt that basically covers up any delay you might experience with OMZ by showing you your prompt right away while the rest of the config loads in the background. The delay is usually fractions of a second, so you might not even notice or be bothered by it. You can also use a $ZSH_CUSTOM to override things you don't need that are bloating your setup. There's quite a bit too much happening in OMZ's lib directory in my opinion, but honestly if you use instant-prompt it's a non-issue. Is it worth it using it? Yes. Even as an advanced Zsh user with my own custom config, I still pull in plugins from OMZ. My recommendation is to start with OMZ, and make a $ZSH_CUSTOM as soon as you're comfortable so that you can start to customize/add/override things as you learn. Once you've gone far enough down this path of customizing, it's not that difficult to unhook the last bits from OMZ and turn your $ZSH_CUSTOM into your own config someday. Some get there on their Zsh journey, and some never do and that's perfectly fine. Enjoy the journey. More on reddit.com

basic configuration options, but a well-written project. How often do you use the ...... alias? I see people alias them all the time. The case insensitive completions I only recently find out about, so essential. Also your gitintegration is cool. How do you handle multiple git identities? More on reddit.com

I use zsh because of Vim mode and its amazing autocompletion and fish-like syntax highlighting and suggestion. Other than that, there are not many different from bash as interactive shell. If you want to use zsh, AVOID installing oh-my-zsh. You can do everything you want with zsh easily without it. More on reddit.com
