After installation, you can use UV for modern Python development:

uv init my-project
cd my-project

# Add dependencies
uv add requests numpy

# Run Python scripts
uv run script.py

# Install tools globally
uv tool install black ruff

# List Python versions
uv python list

The setup automatically creates an organized development directory structure:

~/Documents/
├── github/
│   └── vblazenka/        # Your GitHub projects
├── projects/             # General projects
├── scripts/              # Utility scripts
└── notes/                # Documentation and notes

cdg      # Jump to ~/Documents/github
cdgv     # Jump to ~/Documents/github/vblazenka
cdp      # Jump to ~/Documents/projects
cds      # Jump to ~/Documents/scripts
cdn      # Jump to ~/Documents/notes

These aliases are included in your .zshrc and make navigating your development environment super fast!

The setup automatically installs these powerful Zsh plugins:

• git - Git integration and shortcuts (built-in)
