:bulb: Deliver tanzu as a "Oh My ZSH!" plugin (for an even better console UX) :pray:

[adriens]

:point_right: Context

Oh My ZSH! is a very widely used zsh theme that make the console experience very efficient and comfortable.

It provides an ever growing set of plugins for the most famous softwares.

A plugins provvided in particular :

• A set of commonly used aliases
• Auto complete experience

It provides in particular plugins around K8S(& Docker) ecosystem like :

• brew
• docker
• docker-compose
• helm
• kn
• kubectl
• kubectx
• kube-ps1
• microk8s
• minikube

:bulb: The idea

As for minikube or microk8s it would make sense to get the Tanzu CLI as a plugin to make :

• its use even smoother
• Tanzu better known as part of an awesome console experience (better screencasts for example for bloggers, ...) : could help for #3295

:white_check_mark: Actions

• [ ] Make a feedback on this idea
• [ ] Submit a PR to OH MY ZSH! so tanzu cli gets an amazing support
• [ ] Once PR merged, make an announcement and ideally a little demo about that

Very cool idea! I've used OMZ for years and it's a great framework for managing your zsh environment and themes.

The community can definitely do this but a few questions first:

A set of commonly used aliases

Do we already know about these or have an idea of what people would want here?

Auto complete experience

FYI - there hasn't been alot of work that's gone into the completions. We get alot for free from using cobra but since tanzu uses and consumes various other cobra plugins, this may be tricky.

If users are experience usability issues, we should focus on fixing them at the root first instead of attempting to wrap a shell framework around it. We also don't want to leave users of bash, fish, etc out of loop.

Looks like minikube, helm etc are mostly using OMZ for getting completions in automatically

Hi @jpmcb ,

I'll use every day more and more the tanzu cli with my team. So for now, I don't really which aliases could be created (which commony tasks could be aliased). : maube creation.drop tasks.
