What shell do you use?

[cwade12c]

I used bash for a while, but moved to zsh a few years ago. I've enjoyed how extensible it is, in addition to native Git autocomplete tools, some extra included utilities like zmv, directory aliases, path expansion, and a few other things I'm probably forgetting.

I have the oh-my-zsh framework setup with it [link] and have configured it to use the Agnoster theme [link] with a bundle of plugins. I have a really nifty command history plugin enabled, in addition to several others that I will share when I return to my home box. There's also some useful hooks for executing scripts before and after commands. I'll post my config later.

So, what shell do you use?

I usually use whatever is available. But boy did you just open up my world with native Git autocomplete tools.  I wouldn't have even thought to ask for it.

.zshrc

export ZSH=/home/wade/.oh-my-zsh

# Set name of the theme to load. Optionally, if you set this to "random"
# it'll load a random theme each time that oh-my-zsh is loaded.
# See https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/wiki/Themes
ZSH_THEME="agnoster"

# Which plugins would you like to load? (plugins can be found in ~/.oh-my-zsh/plugins/*)
# Custom plugins may be added to ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins/
# Example format: plugins=(rails git textmate ruby lighthouse)
# Add wisely, as too many plugins slow down shell startup.

If anyone is interested in the hacky shell scripts I wrote, just let me know.
