A tutorial-style documentation repository teaching advanced zsh usage, configuration, and customization without relying on frameworks like oh-my-zsh. It covers configuration, aliases, functions, widgets, completions, and practical productivity techniques.

Use cases

• learn advanced zsh features
• customize my zsh prompt and history
• write zsh functions and widgets
• set up zsh tab completions
• understand zsh without oh-my-zsh
• improve shell productivity with zsh

When to choose

• you already use zsh and want deeper understanding of its native features
• you want framework-free shell customization guidance
• you are comfortable with basic command line usage and want advanced topics

When to avoid

• you need a quick preconfigured shell setup like oh-my-zsh or prezto
• you are a complete beginner to the command line
• you need an exhaustive zsh reference rather than a curated tutorial
