Updated my Mac this afternoon to macOS Catalina. Apart from rearranging all my apps in Launchpad, the major change I notice is that the terminal is using zsh instead of bash... ok... cool. I don't know anything about zsh... what differences can I expect? Should I go back to bash?

    * Themeing(?) support
    * Better autocompletions
    * you can cd without typing cd -- you can type directory names or .. and use them as commands
    * Fuzzy-searching when using up/down arrows for recent commands ("git" and up/down cycles through all recent git commands)
    * Different wildcard handling (this will screw you up at first)

    That's probably what you'll notice right away. It has quite a few other features, too. It's nice, and it's the first shell I've found myself preferring over bash.

    @Root Ok I’ll use it for now. See how I like it

    It’s pretty sweet, and you’ll pick up it quick if you’re already familiar with bash

    If it runs in bash it runs in zsh, so I’m not complaining xD
