Guides and scripts to convert Git Bash on Windows into a zsh-based terminal with Starship, Oh My Zsh, fzf, and modern CLI tools (bat, rg, lsd).
This skill documents a repeatable, idempotent workflow to transform Git Bash on Windows into a zsh-powered environment. It provides configuration snippets, assets, and scripts to install Starship, configure Windows Terminal profiles, merge managed blocks into .bashrc/.zshrc, and optionally install modern CLI tools (bat, ripgrep, lsd, yazi). The guidance emphasises safe edits (backups, targeted patches) rather than wholesale file overwrites.
Use this skill when a Windows user wants a more Unix-like terminal experience within Git Bash, needs to set up consistent dotfiles across machines, or is troubleshooting zsh/Starship/plugin issues on Windows. It's suitable for personal machines and developer workstations where users control their profiles.

Useful to automation tools that can edit dotfiles or run Windows shell commands (Ansible, scripts, or local automation).
