So I tried Prezto for a couple of months as documented in my earlier post. It works well except that it takes like 2 seconds to get my command prompt after opening a new terminal window (on a Macbook Pro 16). Not a deal breaker, but there must be something more efficient out there.
powerline, dotfiles
Scouring through the Internet, I finally settled on writing (plagiarizing) my own zsh config files and powerline (cos I still want a fancy prompt).
stow
And then I found this dotfiles project on Github. It uses GNU stow to manage a hierarcy of dotfiles. The solution is so simple and elegant, it brings tears to my eyes.
yay
Here’s my resulting dotfiles repo. I think it’ll keep me happy for a while.
