Using zsh instead of bash

If you are a regular command line user with some experience using the bash then I would advise you to try zsh instead of bash.

Zsh offers some great features that are unique and can only be added to other shells with a lot of extra effort.

• intelligent autocompletion for git, svn, task, scp and more
• powerful globbing
• autocd
• global aliase
• and much more .....

Go to http://zsh.sourceforge.net/ and have a look at it.

In addition to that there's a get project called oh-my-zsh which bundles a lot of great and useful plugins. This was very useful for me when starting to use zsh. You can find it here: https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh

I've used bash for over 9 years and never even thought of switching my shell.
Then I tried zsh for half an hour and now I'll never go back.
