Oh-my-zsh is another little bit of engineering secret sauce, though if you’re fresh to using the framework I’d probably carefully review alternatives and find something that closely fits your workflow before diving in. The deck summarises a bunch of handy aliases for different combinations of git, yarn, kubectl and python commands. Mileage might vary (I’d suggest building your own deck instead of using this one) but I include it here as an example as I’ve found that learning the aliases nudged me towards better practice as it changed my defaults and this in turn improved the quality of my work and my productivity. The aliases also give you a decent map of the problem space, so I’ve found remembering kubectl commands, for example, has helped me also remember the core components of kubernetes, even as I’ve moved away from that being an active part of my day to day.
