May I mention zsh-sensible (the original one) again?  Here's its zshrc
with comments removed:

[[[
PS1="%m:%~%# "
setopt INTERACTIVE_COMMENTS
HISTSIZE=1000
SAVEHIST=1000
HISTFILE=${XDG_CACHE_HOME:-"${HOME}/.cache"}/zsh_history
autoload -Uz compinit && compinit
zstyle ':completion:*' group-name ''
zstyle ':completion:*' format '>>> %d'
autoload -Uz add-zsh-hook
autoload -Uz vcs_info
_precmd_vcs_info() {
	vcs_info
	if [[ -n ${vcs_info_msg_0_} ]]; then
		print -P -r -- ${vcs_info_msg_0_}
	fi
}
add-zsh-hook precmd _precmd_vcs_info
bindkey -e
]]]
