Zsh for Humans is a turnkey Zsh configuration that bundles the best Zsh plugins into a coherent, polished shell environment that works out of the box. It includes syntax highlighting, autosuggestions, a configurable prompt, fzf-based history search, and SSH environment teleporting.

Use cases

• set up a great zsh shell without manual configuration
• get syntax highlighting and autosuggestions in my terminal
• configure a fast zsh prompt with a wizard
• search shell history and completions with fzf
• share my shell environment over ssh to remote hosts
• share command history across multiple machines

When to choose

• you want a fast, polished Zsh setup that works out of the box without DIY plugin assembly
• you want an easy installer that requires no git, zsh, or sudo
• you want your shell environment automatically available on remote hosts over SSH

When to avoid

• you need new features or active bug-fix support, since the project has very limited support
• you prefer building your own Zsh configuration from individual plugins
• you use a shell other than Zsh
