Making ZSH the default shell on Ubuntu 20.04

ZSH is an alternative command line shell that includes some features like spelling correction, cd automation, better theme, and plugin support. You can replace Bash with ZSH like following:

sudo apt-get install zsh

Setting ZSH as default login shell

sudo usermod -s /usr/bin/zsh $(whoami)

Opening a new terminal window will show you a dialog where you can configure your initial ZSH config (Option 2 recommended).

Afterwards you can install the plugin manager Oh-My-ZSH Show archive.org snapshot and select a proper theme Show archive.org snapshot .

Further configurations:

• Linux: How to make a terminal window title reflect the current path
• Too many parallel test processes may cause flaky tests
• Load rbenv on session create
• Load nvm on session create ( part 1 Show archive.org snapshot and part 2 Show archive.org snapshot )
• Add an open alias
