prezto is a configuration framework for the Z shell (zsh) that enhances the shell environment with a curated set of defaults, plugins, aliases, and themes. It is designed to provide a fast, powerful, and highly customizable shell experience out of the box. Prezto includes modules for common tasks such as history management, directory navigation, command completions, and syntax highlighting, making zsh more efficient and user-friendly. By focusing on performance, it avoids the slowdowns often associated with other zsh frameworks. Users can enable or disable individual modules as needed, tailoring their environment to their workflow. With its emphasis on simplicity and speed, prezto has become a popular alternative to other shell frameworks like oh-my-zsh.
