VSCode is awesome and we know it. Performance is the key here. But overall easy-to-use design, plugins and marketplace make this even more powerful.
But before putting some cool VSCode plugins, today I am gonna write about OhMyZSH first. On my last Post, I wanted to write about it but I was so sleepy and could not finish π΄ . I wrote at the end that I would continue ZSH in my next post. So here I am π
Now let's talk about my Terminal, yes OhMyZSH. β‘
I use OhMyZSH on top of iTerm2. Here is the Link for iTerm2.
After installing iTerm2, please run this command on iTerm2 Terminal-
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh)"
I always liked the Homebrew color scheme from MacOS's default Terminal. That's why I tried to use Homebrew for iTerm2 too.
I found the Homebrew color scheme here π€
It already looks so cool to me π π β€οΈ
I don't like my Terminal to be messy, so this settings suit me perfectly β
Also, there are a lot of awesome themes for ZSH π here π₯
You can choose your preferred one π₯
Nice thing is - when you have your ZSH installed, you will have the same theme and settings inside your VSCode terminal. My VSCode terminal looks like this now π
I will share some of the best Plugins you can use today to improve your developer experience π₯
Automatically add HTML/XML close tag, same as Visual Studio IDE or Sublime Text does.
Automatically rename paired HTML/XML tag, same as Visual Studio IDE does.
This extension allows matching brackets to be identified with colours. The user can define which characters to match, and which colours to use.
It highlights matching opening or closing tags. Optionally it also shows path to tag in the status bar.
There are few more cool plugins I use. I will continue writing this on next Part.β‘
Till then,
Cheers!

I miss a bit of talk about ZSH to be honest. You immediately drop how to install it, after that you talk about your preferred colours. And throw in that now it's also in vscode. Not one thing about why you would want to use ZSH, what it is and which features are useful.
Thanks for the feedback! I think that will require a separate post. I will try to think about it π
It was such bad post. You sort of posted it just for the sake of numbers. And don't know why but Dev.to mentioned it in their FB post.
Thanks for your feedback!
Performance comparing to what?
Compared to Atom. Also compared to all other IDE like IntelliJ, VisualStudio etc.(I know I can not compare with IDEs coz It's an editor.)
VSCode seems lightweight and handy to me
Please, change your title. It does not reflect the content of your article. Especially when you mention zsh.
Thanks for the feedback!
I actually wrote about my terminal settings where I use ZSH. I wrote how much I did it for myself.
I use auto close tag but I definitely have to try auto rename tag π
AutoRename tag is nice π
