oh-my-zsh is an open source, community-driven framework for managing
your ZSH configuration. It comes bundled with a ton of helpful
functions, helpers, plugins, themes, and few things that make you shout…

I’m hoping to collect a bunch of themes for our command prompts. You can see existing ones in the

“OH MY ZSHELL!”
Setup
oh-my-zsh should work with any recent release of zsh, the minimum recommended version is 4.3.9.The automatic installer… (do you trust me?)
You can install this via the command line with either `curl` or `wget`.via `curl`
curl -L https://raw.github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh | shvia `wget`
wget --no-check-certificate https://raw.github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh -O - | shThe manual way
1. Clone the repositorygit clone git://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh.git ~/.oh-my-zsh
2. OPTIONAL Backup your existing ~/.zshrc filecp ~/.zshrc ~/.zshrc.orig
3. Create a new zsh config by copying the zsh template we’ve provided.cp ~/.oh-my-zsh/templates/zshrc.zsh-template ~/.zshrc
4. Set zsh as your default shell:chsh -s /bin/zsh
5. Start / restart zsh (open a new terminal is easy enough…)Problems?
You might need to modify your PATH in ~/.zshrc if you’re not able to find some commands after switching to Oh My Zsh.Usage
- enable the plugins you want in your
~/.zshrc(take a look atplugins/to see what’s possible)- example:
plugins=(git osx ruby)
- example:
- Theme support: Change the
ZSH_THEMEenvironment variable in~/.zshrc.- Take a look at the current themes that come bundled with Oh My Zsh.
- much much more… take a look at
lib/what Oh My Zsh offers…
Useful
the refcard is pretty tasty for tips.Customization
If you want to override any of the default behavior, just add a new file (ending in.zsh) into the custom/ directory.If you have many functions which go well together you can put them as a *.plugin.zsh file in the
custom/plugins/ directory and then enable this plugin.If you would like to override the functionality of a plugin distributed with oh-my-zsh, create a plugin of the same name in the
custom/plugins/ directory and it will be loaded instead of the one in plugins/.Updates
By default you will be prompted to check for updates. If you would like oh-my-zsh to automatically update itself without prompting you, set the following in your ~/.zshrcDISABLE_UPDATE_PROMPT=trueTo disable updates entirely, put this in your ~/.zshrc
DISABLE_AUTO_UPDATE=trueTo upgrade directly from the command line, just run
upgrade_oh_my_zshUninstalling
If you want to uninstall it, just rununinstall_oh_my_zsh from the command line and it’ll remove itself and revert you to bash (or your previous zsh config).Help out!
I’m far from being a zsh-expert and suspect there are many ways to improve. If you have ideas on how to make the configuration easier to maintain (and faster), don’t hesitate to fork and send pull requests!(Don’t) Send us your theme! (for now)
