Terminal Shell - Zsh & Starship¶
An advanced shell environment with powerful tools for the command line.
Prezto is the base configuration for Zsh, an efficient configuration that saves a huge amount of time.
Presto uncertain future

Starship¶
A modern command prompt theme, giving feedback about git status and many other aspects of the shell environment (java or python version, etc.)
