What are the differences between oh-my-zsh and prezto?

Solution 1:

Prezto is a fork of Oh-My-Zsh meant to be saner/cleaner1 and use zsh syntax2

As there has been one issue of links breaking, here are the quotes:

1: By John Stevenson

Prezto has been rewritten by the author who wanted to achieve a good zsh setup by ensuring all the scripts are making use of zsh syntax. It has a few more steps to install but should only take a few minutes extra.

2: By JonnieCache

In case it isn't clear, prezto is a fork of oh-my-zsh which has basically been rewritten bit by bit to make everything much cleaner and saner. I highly recommend it. The history-substring-search and syntax-highlighting modules are brilliant. You will be the envy of all your friends and neighbours.
