CLI Pomodoro for Linux (zsh)

This article provides instructions for setting up a Pomodoro timer in the Zsh shell on Linux. It defines a function that uses the `timer` command to count down 45-minute work sessions or 10-minute breaks, and then announces completion using `spd-say`. The setup also includes convenient aliases (`wo` and `br`) to start each session type.
