Jazzing up the Terminal
Out of the box, the terminal shipped with Ubuntu is a bit bland. This section will let you become a power-user :muscle:.
Tools:
Terminator
Terminator lets you arrange multiple terminals in a grid-like interface.
To install Terminator enter sudo apt-get install terminator
into the terminal.

Oh My ZSH!
Prerequisites:
git
should be installed
To install ZSH
and Oh My ZSH!
use the following commands:
sudo apt install zsh && chsh -s $(which zsh)
Note: you will need to log out and in again to use ZSH instead of bash as your default shell.
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh)"
Once you restart your terminal, Oh My ZSH!
should be installed.
