In addition to the other recommendations, I always suggest Kubie (https://github.com/sbstp/kubie). The nice thing about Kubie is that it spawns a new shell when you select a kubeconfig, meaning selecting a Kubernetes context in one terminal window doesn't clobber what you're doing in another.

You can map something like cmd+shift+f to open the entire buffer in your default text editor, this has been sufficient for a lot of folks - myself included - while we wait for native scrollback search to land.

Worth pointing out that this was written by the "Microsoft Partner Product Architect on Edge", a product which Microsoft speed-ran its enshittification.

Application error: a server-side exception has occurred while loading www.dmitry.ie (see the server logs for more information).

So is running a website apparently.

Agreed, highly recommended reading. A slightly more up-to-date post of his which recommends tools in such situations is: https://www.brendangregg.com/blog/2024-03-24/linux-crisis-to...

New comment by yankcrime in "Starship: A minimal, fast, and customizable prompt for any shell"

yankcrime — Tue, 24 Jun 2025 14:46:06 +0000

Ignore the haters - I too am a fan of minimalism in my terminal since I don't appreciate unnecessary clutter or decoration, but context is king and Starship can be configured as such.

By default my prompt is a shows me the current directory, the time, and a single character '%'. If I set something in my environment for which I need to be contextually aware - i.e if I have KUBECONFIG or OS_CLOUD - then the prompt is updated with the detail. Similar for languages - it'll automatically show me the version of Go or Python or whatever based on a few factors, all of which I can control.

The reason I love Starship is that it's made all this very, very easy to configure - instead of having to wade through arcane Zsh configuration or additional plugins, Starship makes it easy. It also adds negligible overhead to initialisation, especially when done so via evalcache [0]

A modern reimagining of Windows 2000's UI - professional, simple, uncluttered, focused, no cheapening of the whole experience with adverts in a thinly-veiled attempt to funnel you into Bing - with modern underpinnings and features such as WSL2 would have me running back towards Microsoft with open arms and cheque book in hand.
