What is Oh My Zsh?
Oh My Zsh is an open source, community-driven framework for managing your Zsh configuration.
Sounds boring. Let's try again.
Oh My Zsh will not make you a 10x developer...but you may feel like one!
Once installed, your terminal shell will become the talk of the town or your money back! With each keystroke in your command prompt, you'll take advantage of the hundreds of powerful plugins and beautiful themes. Strangers will come up to you in cafés and ask you, "that is amazing! are you some sort of genius?"
Finally, you'll begin to get the sort of attention that you have always felt you deserved. ...or maybe you'll use the time that you're saving to start flossing more often. 😬

"Dropping bash for ZSH and the Oh-My-ZSH (@ohmyzsh) framework has made me much more comfortable in the terminal. It’s been about a year of using it now and I keep learning new things about it. 10/10 would recommend"
ahmedkidwai"As others have said and I’ll say as well, install @ohmyzsh. It takes the magic of zsh, bottles it up, and
then anytime you use the CLI out comes a genie and asks you your wish.
Without it, discovering the greatness of zsh requires a PhD."

"@ohmyzsh is simply amazing - I wish I would have installed it earlier"
rs_ragh"The last OS X upgrade made ZSH the default shell. I figured it was about time to finally leave bash. After I was on ZSH, I decided to try the much famed oh-my-zsh. OMG, why hand't I tried this thing before. If you're a programmer and you're not using this, try it, now! @ohmyzsh"
