|
||
|
||
Oh My Zsh is an open source, community-driven framework for managing your [zsh](https://www.zsh.org/) configuration.
|
||
|
||
Sounds boring. Let's try again.
|
||
|
||
**Oh My Zsh will not make you a 10x developer...but you may feel like one.**
|
||
|
||
Once installed, your terminal shell will become the talk of the town _or your money back!_ With each keystroke in your command prompt, you'll take advantage of the hundreds of powerful plugins and beautiful themes. Strangers will come up to you in cafés and ask you, _"that is amazing! are you some sort of genius?"_
|
||
|
||
Finally, you'll begin to get the sort of attention that you have always felt you deserved. ...or maybe you'll use the time that you're saving to start flossing more often. 😬

|
||
|
||
|
||
### Prerequisites
|
||
|
||
- [Zsh](https://www.zsh.org) should be installed (v4.3.9 or more recent is fine but we prefer 5.0.8 and newer). If not pre-installed (run `zsh --version` to confirm), check the following wiki instructions here: [Installing ZSH](https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/wiki/Installing-ZSH)
|
||
- `curl` or `wget` should be installed
|
||
- `git` should be installed (recommended v2.4.11 or higher)
|
||
|
||
### Basic Installation
|
||
|
||
Oh My Zsh is installed by running one of the following commands in your terminal. You can install this via the command-line with either `curl`, `wget` or another similar tool.
|
||
|
||
| Method | Command |
|
||
| :-------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
|
||
| **curl** | `sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)"` |
|
||
| **wget** | `sh -c "$(wget -O- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)"` |
|
||
| **fetch** | `sh -c "$(fetch -o - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)"` |
|
||
|
||
Alternatively, the installer is also mirrored outside GitHub. Using this URL instead may be required if you're in a country like China or India (for certain ISPs), that blocks `raw.githubusercontent.com`:
|
||
|
||
| Method | Command |
|
||
| :-------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
|
||
| **curl** | `sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://install.ohmyz.sh/)"` |
|
||
| **wget** | `sh -c "$(wget -O- https://install.ohmyz.sh/)"` |
|
||
| **fetch** | `sh -c "$(fetch -o - https://install.ohmyz.sh/)"` |
|
||
|
||
_Note that any previous `.zshrc` will be renamed to `.zshrc.pre-oh-my-zsh`. After installation, you can move the configuration you want to preserve into the new `.zshrc`._
|
||
|
||
#### Manual Inspection
|
||
|
||
It's a good idea to inspect the install script from projects you don't yet know. You can do
|
||
that by downloading the install script first, looking through it so everything looks normal,
|
||
then running it:
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh
|
||
sh install.sh
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
If the above URL times out or otherwise fails, you may have to substitute the URL for `https://install.ohmyz.sh` to be able to get the script.
|
||
|
||
## Using Oh My Zsh
|
||
|
||
### Plugins
|
||
|
||
Oh My Zsh comes with a shitload of plugins for you to take advantage of. You can take a look in the [plugins](https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/tree/master/plugins) directory and/or the [wiki](https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/wiki/Plugins) to see what's currently available.
|
||
|
||
#### Enabling Plugins
|
||
|
||
Once you spot a plugin (or several) that you'd like to use with Oh My Zsh, you'll need to enable them in the `.zshrc` file. You'll find the zshrc file in your `$HOME` directory. Open it with your favorite text editor and you'll see a spot to list all the plugins you want to load.
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
vi ~/.zshrc
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
For example, this might begin to look like this:
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
plugins=(
|
||
git
|
||
bundler
|
||
dotenv
|
||
macos
|
||
rake
|
||
rbenv
|
||
ruby
|
||
)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
_Note that the plugins are separated by whitespace (spaces, tabs, new lines...). **Do not** use commas between them or it will break._
|
||
|
||
#### Using Plugins
|
||
|
||
Each built-in plugin includes a **README**, documenting it. This README should show the aliases (if the plugin adds any) and extra goodies that are included in that particular plugin.
|
||
|
||
### Themes
|
||
|
||
We'll admit it. Early in the Oh My Zsh world, we may have gotten a bit too theme happy. We have over one hundred and fifty themes now bundled. Most of them have [screenshots](https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/wiki/Themes) on the wiki (We are working on updating this!). Check them out!
|
||
|
||
#### Selecting A Theme
|
||
|
||
_Robby's theme is the default one. It's not the fanciest one. It's not the simplest one. It's just the right one (for him)._
|
||
|
||
Once you find a theme that you'd like to use, you will need to edit the `~/.zshrc` file. You'll see an environment variable (all caps) in there that looks like:
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
ZSH_THEME="robbyrussell"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
To use a different theme, simply change the value to match the name of your desired theme. For example:
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
ZSH_THEME="agnoster" # (this is one of the fancy ones)
|
||
# see https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/wiki/Themes#agnoster
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
_Note: many themes require installing a [Powerline Font](https://github.com/powerline/fonts) or a [Nerd Font](https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts) in order to render properly. Without them, these themes will render [weird prompt symbols](https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/wiki/FAQ#i-have-a-weird-character-in-my-prompt)_
|
||
|
||
Open up a new terminal window and your prompt should look something like this:
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
In case you did not find a suitable theme for your needs, please have a look at the wiki for [more of them](https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/wiki/External-themes).
|
||
|
||
If you're feeling feisty, you can let the computer select one randomly for you each time you open a new terminal window.
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
ZSH_THEME="random" # (...please let it be pie... please be some pie..)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
And if you want to pick random theme from a list of your favorite themes:
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
ZSH_THEME_RANDOM_CANDIDATES=(
|
||
"robbyrussell"
|
||
"agnoster"
|
||
)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
If you only know which themes you don't like, you can add them similarly to an ignored list:
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
ZSH_THEME_RANDOM_IGNORED=(pygmalion tjkirch_mod)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### FAQ
|
||
|
||
If you have some more questions or issues, you might find a solution in our [FAQ](https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/wiki/FAQ).
|
||
|
||
## Advanced Topics
|
||
|
||
If you're the type that likes to get their hands dirty, these sections might resonate.
|
||
|
||
### Advanced Installation
|
||
|
||
Some users may want to manually install Oh My Zsh, or change the default path or other settings that
|
||
the installer accepts (these settings are also documented at the top of the install script).
|
||
|
||
#### Custom Directory
|
||
|
||
The default location is `~/.oh-my-zsh` (hidden in your home directory, you can access it with `cd ~/.oh-my-zsh`)
|
||
|
||
If you'd like to change the install directory with the `ZSH` environment variable, either by running
|
||
`export ZSH=/your/path` before installing, or by setting it before the end of the install pipeline
|
||
like this:
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
ZSH="$HOME/.dotfiles/oh-my-zsh" sh install.sh
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
#### Unattended Install
|
||
|
||
If you're running the Oh My Zsh install script as part of an automated install, you can pass the `--unattended`
|
||
flag to the `install.sh` script. This will have the effect of not trying to change
|
||
the default shell, and it also won't run `zsh` when the installation has finished.
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)" "" --unattended
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
If you're in China, India, or another country that blocks `raw.githubusercontent.com`, you may have to substitute the URL for `https://install.ohmyz.sh` for it to install.
|
||
|
||
#### Installing From A Forked Repository
|
||
|
||
The install script also accepts these variables to allow the installation of a different repository:
|
||
|
||
- `REPO` (default: `ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh`): this takes the form of `owner/repository`. If you set
|
||
this variable, the installer will look for a repository at `https://github.com/{owner}/{repository}`.
|
||
|
||
- `REMOTE` (default: `https://github.com/${REPO}.git`): this is the full URL of the git repository
|
||
clone. You can use this setting if you want to install from a fork that is not on GitHub (GitLab,
|
||
Bitbucket...) or if you want to clone with SSH instead of HTTPS (`git@github.com:user/project.git`).
|
||
|
||
_NOTE: it's incompatible with setting the `REPO` variable. This setting will take precedence._
|
||
|
||
- `BRANCH` (default: `master`): you can use this setting if you want to change the default branch to be
|
||
checked out when cloning the repository. This might be useful for testing a Pull Request, or if you
|
||
want to use a branch other than `master`.
|
||
|
||
For example:
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
REPO=apjanke/oh-my-zsh BRANCH=edge sh install.sh
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
#### Manual Installation
|
||
|
||
##### 1. Clone The Repository <!-- omit in toc -->
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
git clone https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh.git ~/.oh-my-zsh
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
##### 2. _Optionally_, Backup Your Existing `~/.zshrc` File <!-- omit in toc -->
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
cp ~/.zshrc ~/.zshrc.orig
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
##### 3. Create A New Zsh Configuration File <!-- omit in toc -->
|
||
|
||
You can create a new zsh config file by copying the template that we have included for you.
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
cp ~/.oh-my-zsh/templates/zshrc.zsh-template ~/.zshrc
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
##### 4. Change Your Default Shell <!-- omit in toc -->
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
chsh -s $(which zsh)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
You must log out from your user session and log back in to see this change.
|
||
|
||
##### 5. Initialize Your New Zsh Configuration <!-- omit in toc -->
|
||
|
||
Once you open up a new terminal window, it should load zsh with Oh My Zsh's configuration.
|
||
|
||
### Installation Problems
|
||
|
||
If you have any hiccups installing, here are a few common fixes.
|
||
|
||
- You _might_ need to modify your `PATH` in `~/.zshrc` if you're not able to find some commands after switching to `oh-my-zsh`.
|
||
- If you installed manually or changed the install location, check the `ZSH` environment variable in `~/.zshrc`.
|
||
|
||
### Custom Plugins And Themes
|
||
|
||
If you want to override any of the default behaviors, just add a new file (ending in `.zsh`) in the `custom/` directory.
|
||
|
||
If you have many functions that go well together, you can put them as a `XYZ.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/`.
|
||
|
||
### Enable GNU ls In macOS And freeBSD Systems
|
||
|
||
<a name="enable-gnu-ls"></a>
|
||
|
||
The default behaviour in Oh My Zsh is to use BSD `ls` in macOS and FreeBSD systems. If GNU `ls` is installed
|
||
(as `gls` command), you can choose to use it instead. To do it, you can use zstyle-based config before
|
||
sourcing `oh-my-zsh.sh`:
|
||
|
||
```zsh
|
||
zstyle ':omz:lib:theme-and-appearance' gnu-ls yes
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
_Note: this is not compatible with `DISABLE_LS_COLORS=true`_
|
||
|
||
### Skip Aliases
|
||
|
||
<a name="remove-directories-aliases"></a>
|
||
|
||
If you want to skip default Oh My Zsh aliases (those defined in `lib/*` files) or plugin aliases,
|
||
you can use the settings below in your `~/.zshrc` file, **before Oh My Zsh is loaded**. Note that
|
||
there are many different ways to skip aliases, depending on your needs.
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
# Skip all aliases, in lib files and enabled plugins
|
||
zstyle ':omz:*' aliases no
|
||
|
||
# Skip all aliases in lib files
|
||
zstyle ':omz:lib:*' aliases no
|
||
# Skip only aliases defined in the directories.zsh lib file
|
||
zstyle ':omz:lib:directories' aliases no
|
||
|
||
# Skip all plugin aliases
|
||
zstyle ':omz:plugins:*' aliases no
|
||
# Skip only the aliases from the git plugin
|
||
zstyle ':omz:plugins:git' aliases no
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
You can combine these in other ways taking into account that more specific scopes take precedence:
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
# Skip all plugin aliases, except for the git plugin
|
||
zstyle ':omz:plugins:*' aliases no
|
||
zstyle ':omz:plugins:git' aliases yes
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
A previous version of this feature was using the setting below, which has been removed:
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
zstyle ':omz:directories' aliases no
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Instead, you can now use the following:
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
zstyle ':omz:lib:directories' aliases no
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Disable async git prompt
|
||
|
||
Async prompt functions are an experimental feature (included on April 3, 2024) that allows Oh My Zsh to render prompt information
|
||
asynchronously. This can improve prompt rendering performance, but it might not work well with some setups. We hope that's not an
|
||
issue, but if you're seeing problems with this new feature, you can turn it off by setting the following in your .zshrc file,
|
||
before Oh My Zsh is sourced:
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
zstyle ':omz:alpha:lib:git' async-prompt no
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
#### Notice <!-- omit in toc -->
|
||
|
||
> This feature is currently in a testing phase and it may be subject to change in the future.
|
||
> It is also not currently compatible with plugin managers such as zpm or zinit, which don't
|
||
> source the init script (`oh-my-zsh.sh`) where this feature is implemented in.
|
||
|
||
> It is also not currently aware of "aliases" that are defined as functions. Example of such
|
||
> are `gccd`, `ggf`, or `ggl` functions from the git plugin.
|
||
|
||
## Getting Updates
|
||
|
||
By default, you will be prompted to check for updates every 2 weeks. You can choose other update modes by adding a line to your `~/.zshrc` file, **before Oh My Zsh is loaded**:
|
||
|
||
1. Automatic update without confirmation prompt:
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
zstyle ':omz:update' mode auto
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
2. Just offer a reminder every few days, if there are updates available:
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
zstyle ':omz:update' mode reminder
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
3. To disable automatic updates entirely:
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
zstyle ':omz:update' mode disabled
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
NOTE: you can control how often Oh My Zsh checks for updates with the following setting:
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
# This will check for updates every 7 days
|
||
zstyle ':omz:update' frequency 7
|
||
# This will check for updates every time you open the terminal (not recommended)
|
||
zstyle ':omz:update' frequency 0
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Updates Verbosity
|
||
|
||
You can also limit the update verbosity with the following settings:
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
zstyle ':omz:update' verbose default # default update prompt
|
||
|
||
zstyle ':omz:update' verbose minimal # only few lines
|
||
|
||
zstyle ':omz:update' verbose silent # only errors
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Manual Updates
|
||
|
||
If you'd like to update at any point in time (maybe someone just released a new plugin and you don't want to wait a week?) you just need to run:
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
omz update
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Magic! 🎉
|
||
|
||
## Uninstalling Oh My Zsh
|
||
|
||
Oh My Zsh isn't for everyone. We'll miss you, but we want to make this an easy breakup.
|
||
|
||
If you want to uninstall `oh-my-zsh`, just run `uninstall_oh_my_zsh` from the command-line. It will remove itself and revert your previous `bash` or `zsh` configuration.
|
||
|
||
