A handful of functions, auto-complete helpers, and stuff that makes you shout...
bq. "OH MY ZSHELL!"
2009-08-29 02:14:17 +08:00
h2. Setup
2009-11-12 14:52:53 +08:00
@oh-my-zsh@ should work with any recent release of "zsh":http://www.zsh.org/, the minimum recommended version is 4.3.9.
2009-08-31 09:36:38 +08:00
h3. The automatic installer... (do you trust me?)
2011-03-24 16:47:48 +08:00
@wget --no-check-certificate https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/raw/master/tools/install.sh -O - | sh@
2009-08-31 09:36:38 +08:00
h3. The manual way
2009-08-29 02:19:22 +08:00
1. Clone the repository
2009-08-31 09:54:39 +08:00
@git clone git://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh.git ~/.oh-my-zsh@
2009-08-29 02:19:22 +08:00
2009-09-01 22:52:43 +08:00
2. Create a new zsh config by copying the zsh template we've provided.
2009-08-29 02:19:22 +08:00
2009-08-31 09:00:42 +08:00
*NOTE*: If you already have a ~/.zshrc file, you should back it up. @cp ~/.zshrc ~/.zshrc.orig@ in case you want to go back to your original settings.
2009-09-01 22:52:43 +08:00
@cp ~/.oh-my-zsh/templates/zshrc.zsh-template ~/.zshrc@
2009-08-31 08:48:43 +08:00
3. Set zsh as your default shell:
@chsh -s /bin/zsh@
2010-06-06 22:14:13 +08:00
4. Start / restart zsh (open a new terminal is easy enough...)
2009-08-29 02:19:22 +08:00
2009-08-29 02:53:43 +08:00
h3. Problems?
2010-06-06 22:14:13 +08:00
You _might_ need to modify your PATH in ~/.zshrc if you're not able to find some commands after switching to _Oh My Zsh_.
2009-08-29 02:53:43 +08:00
2009-08-29 02:46:01 +08:00
h2. Usage
2010-06-06 22:14:13 +08:00
* enable the plugins you want in your @~/.zshrc@ (take a look at @plugins/@ to see what's possible)
** example: @plugins=(git osx ruby)@
2009-08-31 23:12:45 +08:00
* Theme support: Change the @ZSH_THEME@ environment variable in @~/.zshrc@.
2011-02-14 17:19:01 +08:00
** Take a look at the "current themes":https://wiki.github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/themes that come bundled with _Oh My Zsh_.
2010-06-06 22:14:13 +08:00
* much much more... take a look at @lib/@ what _Oh My Zsh_ offers...
2009-08-29 02:19:22 +08:00
2009-09-23 08:20:08 +08:00
h2. Useful
2009-09-23 23:14:04 +08:00
2009-09-23 08:20:08 +08:00
the "refcard":http://www.bash2zsh.com/zsh_refcard/refcard.pdf is pretty tasty for tips.
2009-09-23 23:06:32 +08:00
h3. Customization
If you want to override any of the default behavior, just add a new file (ending in @.zsh@) into the @custom/@ directory.
2010-06-06 22:14:13 +08:00
If you have many functions which go good together you can put them as a *.plugin.zsh file in the @plugin/@ directory and then enable this plugin.
2009-09-23 23:06:32 +08:00
2009-09-01 06:00:38 +08:00
h3. Uninstalling
If you want to uninstall it, just run @uninstall_oh_my_zsh@ from the command line and it'll remove itself and revert you to bash (or your previous zsh config).
2009-08-29 02:43:19 +08:00
h2. Thanks
2009-11-13 02:14:09 +08:00
* Rick Olson (technoweenie) might remember some of the configuration, which I took from a pastie a few years ago.
* Marcel (noradio) provided Rick the original zsh configuration.
* Nicholas (ulysses) for the "rake autocompletion code":http://weblog.rubyonrails.org/2006/3/9/fast-rake-task-completion-for-zsh.
2009-08-29 02:14:17 +08:00
2009-08-29 02:43:19 +08:00
h2. Help out!
2009-08-29 02:14:17 +08:00
2009-08-29 03:21:43 +08:00
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!
2009-08-31 23:12:45 +08:00
h3. Send us your theme!
2011-03-24 16:47:48 +08:00
I'm hoping to collect a bunch of themes for our command prompts. You can see existing ones in the @themes/@ directory.
