I don't exactly +remember the reasons for switching, probably I just wanted to give it a try, but +found it to be a good alternative. +You can't say zsh, without naming +[oh-my-zsh](https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh), an incredibly good, +'community-driven framework for managing your zsh configuration'. +Just simply install it and you have a great abundance of themes, plugins and +other goodies right at your hands, which will make your everyday life at the +command line a lot easier. + +## [tmux](https://github.com/tmux/tmux/wiki) + +Tmux is a terminal multiplexer, which means, that you can have several virtual +terminals in one 'real' terminal instance. You can also have multiple sessions +and switch between them. Splitting up your window in different terminals is also +possible, of course. + +You can also have some cool info displayed in the lower status line, like +current time, hostname and even the [currently played +song](https://git.schneider-hosting.de/schneider/dotfiles/src/branch/master/tmux/theme.sh#L55) +in clementine. + +Switching between the tabs is as easy as pressing `a h|l`, depending +in which direction you want to go. + +## Installation + +Executing `./install.sh` will install the configuration. It will download +oh-my-zsh, set zsh as default shell and links all important configuration +files.
