Why I love zsh (and hate being forced to use bash)

Why I love zsh (and hate being forced to use bash)

  • Smarter completion. A few examples:
  • context sensitive -- if you have file "name1" and directory "name2", "cd nam<TAB>" completes to "name2/"
  • "tar xf <TAB>" completes to tarballs only. "unrar x <TAB>" completes to RARs only. etc.
  • rsync / scp completion: "rsync host:anything/<TAB>" shows you files on host under anything/
  • also works with rsync:// URLs
  • SSH host completion from ~/.ssh/config & ~/.ssh/known_hosts
  • lots of other smart completions: Rake tasks, git commands & SHAs, dpkg packages, dash-options for most commands, etc etc.
