          <h2>What is ZSH?</h2>

<blockquote><em>The Z shell (Zsh) is a Unix shell that can be used as an interactive login shell and as a command interpreter for shell scripting. Zsh is an extended Bourne shell with many improvements, including some features of Bash, ksh, and tcsh. -<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z_shell" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z_shell</a></em></blockquote>
