Mini Course: Zsh
This Mini Course will sell Z shells on the Z shore.
The Z shell (Zsh) is a Unix shell that can be used as an interactive login shell and as a command interpreter for shell scripting. Zsh is an extended Bourne shell with many improvements, including some features of Bash, ksh, and tcsh. Oh My Zsh is a very popular framework for configuring Zsh which empowers the shell ever more.
Zsh is now the default shell on Apple machines since macOS Catalina (10.15). Spend some time learning it now to boost your productivity later. Note that you can also install it and use it on Deigo.
Target audience
This course is suitable for people who have used Unix terminals before.
