Hello!

Do we have Debian devs here who have pimped their shell heavily with custom
prompts, colors, command line fonts, shell window title hacks, perhaps
using zsh etc? Have you written blogs about you experiences, can you share
some good reads (with screenshots) of what you have done?

I've read a bit on zsh and powerline and the like, but I am annoyed that
all those blog posts are quite superficial and do not mention security,
interoperability or performance aspects. Frankly any blog post that
recommends cloning random repos or even worse, running wget | sh something
gives me chills.

Some above average posts are
https://linuxhint.com/install_zsh_shell_ubuntu_1804/ and
https://www.hildeberto.com/2018/02/oh-my-zsh.html

I'd very much want to read about some more knowledgeable experiences.


Tips?


Some might react that bells and whistles is useless and real unix beards
only run plain bash, but I think that good text prompts have a potential to
increase productivity. And anyway I don't want those MacOS users to claim
that their shells would be in any way better than what I can have in Debian
;)
