In 2024, I adopted several transformative software tools that significantly enhanced my productivity and workflow.

Zsh

Unlike Bash, Zsh revolutionized my terminal experience with its advanced features.

Zsh offers more intelligent autocompletion that can match terms even in the middle of a command. It is also very customizable with themeable prompts, spell-checking, and syntax highlighting.

Zsh provides a more interactive and user-friendly CLI.

Tmux

A lightweight yet powerful terminal multiplexer. It’s handy when working with remote or poor connections.

Tmux persists sessions, allowing you to detach from sessions and reconnect later, ensuring uninterrupted work.

Unlike the default terminal, Tmux allows you to create multiple windows and panes within a single terminal, dramatically improving multitasking.

When working on remote servers, Tmux can run multiple processes simultaneously without the need for multiple SSH connections.

Pnpm
