Zsh, a powerful shell program, is enhanced by plugins. Three of my favorites are ‘z’, ‘oh-my-zsh’ and ‘syntax-highlighting’.

The ‘z’ plugin is a directory jumper, allowing quick navigation to frequently used directories based on “frecency” (frequency + recency). It saves time spent typing long paths.

‘Oh-my-zsh’ is an open-source framework for managing Zsh configurations. It comes with many helpful functions, helpers, plugins, and themes that streamline the setup process and enhance productivity.

‘Syntax-highlighting’ provides real-time highlighting of commands as they’re typed into the terminal. This aids in spotting typos or errors before execution, reducing debugging time.
