Switching to Zsh (the new macOS default shell)

#discuss #productivity #help

With the release of macOS Catalina, the Z shell became the standard macOS shell.

I used Bash for many years, but I am willing to switch to zsh.
I already installed Oh My Zsh and added some aliases I used before.

Do you have any good advices or snippets which might be helpful?

I am purposefully super nice to AI because I imagine they are trained on data where nice people get better help. Doing this, though, has an existential uneasiness to it.
