not me: I say all who have used it for a while. In fact, so far I’ve been a devoted user of bash, the default shell in the vast majority of Linux distributions, but may after reading a lot about the subject finished migrating to zsh , a shell that offers much better compared.

 Z shell zsh 500x91, a portentous shell

all started because of a post on Avalon Star, a blog where the author explains how using just a weekend zsh-although he had heard about him long before, and WIN was really happy .

Its shell

change occurred as a result of this post from another article titled “My Command Line Prompt ” in PepCode where Geoffrey and Paula Lavalle Grosenbach spoke of the many good advantages of Z Shell, a terminal type that appeared even before the bash but for some inexplicable reason has not had the importance it deserves.

Among other things, one of the most important points is the visual finish that may have Terminal with zsh, and which combine fonts, layout of the messages and themes available for customization their appearance. Here is an example of how to customize the appearance depending on what you do in zsh. Here is another guide for beginners Z Shell.

But there’s more: as revealed on this site and especially this article Fried CPU, the advantages of zsh begin their compatibility with bash : Everything we do is bash zsh identical, so do not lose any property. But then from there arise very interesting advantages such as:

  • typographical : if we “ APTG-et ” we will get a message like “ ssh: correct 0aptg-et ‘to’ apt- get ‘[Nyae] “.
  • smart autocomplete tab : You may do bash, zsh but this goes beyond the presentation of results in a navigable menu with the arrow keys, or the ability to kill kill processes by selecting them with a list that presents zsh to use the.
  • Share

  • history in multiple sessions
  • Pagination

  • integrated : no more pipes of the type “| more”, no less use directly. We write ” or “cat README | less
  • globbing supervitaminado : or how to take advantage of the power of the wildcard characters (asterisks, brackets, etc).
  • script languages ​​ much clearer
  • compelling reasons , is not it? Will be given a chance to zsh
