Introduction
Bash isn’t bad. It gets the job done just fine, but have you ever considered what it’d be like if Bash had some extra features to make it more convenient to work with? That’s more-or-less what ZSH is.
It includes all of the features that you’d expect from Bash, but it also has some really nice additions to make your life easier. Actually, you’ll be amazed at how much easier they make working in the command line.
