The usefulness of “Oh My ZSH!” is already built–in.
🚀⭐️ Spaceships as a prompt.
🐟 Fish-like autosuggestions.
Syntax highlighting of commands while they are typed.
Automatically closing and deleting of quotes and brackets when you type them.
Browser-like substring search for history.

This command will update dotfiles, their dependencies, brew or apt-get packages, global npm dependencies, gems, apm plugins.

Projects tree

I suggest you to organize project folder as follows:

├── Playground  # for short-term experiments
└── Repos       # for long-term projects
