#12Earlier quoted context omitted.
Yep! I did take a look at oh-my-zsh but decided not to go that route, I didn't like the aesthetic of many of the themes and Bash is capable of a lot of zsh's features now.
> Bash is capable of a lot of zsh's features now. Were some new features added to Bash that were present in zsh?
I may be wrong, but I think programmable completion and /* globs were in zsh before bash.

#13This is quite sad, for a better alternative starter check out Paul Irish's which seems to be based on mathias's. The link is here: https://github.com/paulirish/dotfiles

#14bash alternate to oh-my-sh : https://github.com/revans/bash-it . https://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles has a pretty good collection of dotfiles repos mentioned in its readme.md. There are few more at http://dotfiles.github.io/
https://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles is fantastic, I refer to that a lot.
Actually, it looks like Bashstrap is a fork of https://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles. A lot of the commands, file structure, and even parts of the readme are a direct copy-paste…

Indeed, looks like Bashstrap is a fork of my dotfiles (without giving any credit, sadly). A lot of the commands, file structure, and even parts of the readme are a direct copy-paste.

#16Oh My ZSH works very well for me. Love it
+1 for Oh My Zsh. Has plugins for git, sublime_text, etc, and great support.

#17This is just some fancied up bashrc. A (much) better alternative would be to install zsh with oh-my-zsh ( https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh ).
zsh is broken and breaks X times per year. It's annoying, really. I'm tired of wasting time configuring terminals time and again because the new version of XYZ package is broken.
Anyone who does not enjoy spending huge amounts of time trouble-shooting on the terminal should use bash. It's the default in most distributions, it supports all major features a modern shell should.

#18Since everyone likes mentioning oh-my-zsh I figured I would mentioned prezto
https://github.com/sorin-ionescu/prezto
which is a very nice alternative and much smaller.

#19It cuts out the fluff To me it looks like the exact opposite.
I had the same feeling. I already know my username, and if there's a directory name before my prompt the "in" is implicit.
