Microsoft made Windows Subsystem for Linux also known as WSL. I use Oh My Zsh to manage my zsh configuration, which makes it trivial to install and use plugins. To install Starship, Starship is a minimal, highly customizable and super fast prompt. Neovim is the best code editor for me because of its speed and ease of customization. All the configuration is written in Lua.

My developer workflow using WSL, tmux and Neovim

<p>I had no idea neovim was a thing. Nice!</p>


<h2>Great</h2>
<p>I also use <em>tmux</em> with <em>Neovim</em> in my WSL, but still use bash &amp; I don’t want to migrate to zsh at least for now.
I have created a bash alias fvim -</p>
<pre><code class="language-shell">alias fvim=&#x27;nvim $(fzf --preview=&quot;bat --color=always {}&quot; --bind shift-up:preview-page-up,shift-down:preview-page-down)&#x27;
</code></pre>
<p>which enhances my CLI experience.</p>


<h1>This was great</h1>
<p>Zoxide is an awesome tool 👍👍</p>


<p>This is a real nice selection of tips. Definitely going to be adding some to my workflow!</p>


<p>It’s a good setup similar to the one I used before. Only that I used Vim 8 cuz I prefer it more to Neovim.</p>
