A handful of functions, auto-complete helpers, and stuff that makes you shout...
# Oh My Zsh
> “OH MY ZSHELL!”
OMZ is a configuration framework for [Zsh](http://www.zsh.org) that enriches
the command line interface environment with sane defaults, aliases, functions,
auto completion, and prompt themes.
## Setup
## Installation
`oh-my-zsh` should work with any recent release of [Zsh](http://www.zsh.org), but the
minimum recommended version is 4.3.9.
Oh My Zsh will work with any recent release of Zsh, but the minimum recommended
version is 4.3.10.
1. Clone the repository.
1. Clone the repository:
`git clone git://github.com/sorin-ionescu/oh-my-zsh.git ~/.oh-my-zsh`
`git clone https://github.com/sorin-ionescu/oh-my-zsh.git ~/.oh-my-zsh`
2. Create a new Zsh configuration by copying the Zsh template provided.
2. Create a new Zsh configuration by copying the Zsh template provided:
**NOTE**: If you already have a `~/.zshrc` file, you should back it up with `cp
~/.zshrc{,.orig}` in case you want to go back to your original settings.
cp ~/.oh-my-zsh/templates/zshrc.template.zsh ~/.zshrc
`cp ~/.oh-my-zsh/templates/zshrc.zsh ~/.zshrc`
3. Set Zsh as your default shell:
`chsh -s /bin/zsh`
4. Start / restart Zsh by opening a new terminal window or tab.
4. Open a new Zsh terminal window or tab.
### Problems?
### Mac OS X
If you are not able to find certain commands after switching to *Oh My Zsh*, you need
to modify `PATH` in `~/.zshrc`, or better yet, in `~/functions/02.environment.zsh`
(may be subject to merge conflicts).
If you have administrator privileges, you must fix an Apple miss configuration
in Mac OS X 10.7 Lion by renaming `/etc/zshenv` to `/etc/zprofile`, or Zsh will
have the wrong `PATH` when executed non-interactively by scripts.
### Troubleshooting
If you are not able to find certain commands after switching to *Oh My Zsh*,
modify the `PATH` variable in `environment.zsh` then open a new Zsh terminal
window or tab.
## Usage
- Enable the plugins you want in `~/.zshrc`.
- Browse `plugins/` to see what is available.
- Populate the plugins array `plugins=(git osx ruby)`.
Oh My Zsh has many features disabled by default. Read the source code and
accompanying README files to learn of what is available.
- Change the prompt in `~/.zshrc`.
- For a list of themes, type `prompt -l`.
- To preview a theme, type `prompt -p name`.
### Plugins
## Useful
1. Browse `plugins/` to see what is available.
2. Load the plugins you need in `~/.zshrc` then open a new Zsh terminal window
or tab.
The [Zsh Reference Card](http://www.bash2zsh.com/zsh_refcard/refcard.pdf) is tasty.
### Themes
1. For a list of themes, type `prompt -l`.
2. To preview a theme, type `prompt -p name`.
3. Load the theme you like in `~/.zshrc` then open a new Zsh terminal window or
tab.

### Customization
If you have many related functions, you can organise them in a file in the
`functions/` directory.
The project is managed via [Git](http://git-scm.com). It is highly recommend
that you commit your changes and push them to [GitHub](http://github.com) to
not lose them. If you do not know how to use Git, follow this
[tutorial](http://gitimmersion.com) and bookmark this
[reference](http://gitref.org).
## Help out!
## Resources
I am not a Zsh expert and suspect that there are improvements to be made. If you have
ideas on how to make the configuration easier to maintain or improve the performance,
do not hesitate to fork and send pull requests!
The [Zsh Reference Card](http://www.bash2zsh.com/zsh_refcard/refcard.pdf) is
indispensable.
