Git Workflow with Zsh: Unleashing the Power of Version Control

Zsh (Z Shell). It's more than just a command-line shell; it's your ultimate partner for an exceptional Git workflow. Personally, I rely on Zsh every day as I work with Infrastructure-as-Code (IAC) for AWS and OCI using Terraform. When dealing with critical production environments, knowing the branch you're on is crucial. That's where Zsh comes in, offering incredible customization to display Git status information right in your command prompt.

In this article, we'll delve into the installation process of Zsh on different operating systems.

Installation steps:

1. Install package manager :snapd

   sudo apt install snapd
