Prezto is a configuration framework for Zsh that enriches the command line with sane defaults, aliases, functions, autocompletion, and prompt themes. It also serves as a Zsh plugin manager, loading modules and plugins via simple configuration.

Use cases

• set up a sensible zsh configuration quickly
• manage zsh plugins and modules
• customize my terminal prompt theme
• add aliases and autocompletion to my shell
• replace oh-my-zsh with a faster zsh framework
• keep my dotfiles organized with runcoms

When to choose

• you use Zsh as your daily shell and want sane defaults out of the box
• you want a fast, modular alternative to Oh My Zsh
• you want built-in prompt themes and completion without manual setup

When to avoid

• you use bash, fish, or another non-Zsh shell
• you prefer a minimal hand-rolled zshrc with no framework
• you need a cross-shell configuration solution
