What it does

Ohmyzsh customizes your terminal experience with themes, plugins, and settings, making it easier to work with your command line interface.

When to use it

•You spend a significant amount of time working in the terminal and want to personalize your experience.
•You're looking for a way to automate repetitive tasks or workflows in your terminal.
•You want to make your terminal more visually appealing and easier to navigate.

Ready-to-paste prompt

To see a list of available themes, run the command 'ls ~/ohmyzsh/themes' and then set your theme in ~/.zshrc with 'ZSH_THEME="robbyrussell"'

Heads up: Ohmyzsh requires zsh to be installed on your system, so if you're using a different shell, you'll need to switch to zsh before installing ohmyzsh.
