Oh my ZSH with zsh-autosuggestions zsh-syntax-highlighting zsh-fast-syntax-highlighting and zsh-autocomplete.md

The article provides instructions for installing and configuring Oh My Zsh with four plugins: zsh-autosuggestions, zsh-syntax-highlighting, zsh-fast-syntax-highlighting, and zsh-autocomplete. It includes commands for installing the plugins via git clone and modifying the `.zshrc` file to enable them. The author also notes that a newer, optimized 2026 version of the guide exists, which uses Zinit and Starship for faster shell startup.

Note I’ve written a newer optimized 2026 version of this guide with a faster setup using Zinit + Starship and improved plugin loading. This version avoids slow shell startups and works better with modern Zsh setups.
