brew plugin

The plugin adds several aliases for common brew commands.

To use it, add brew to the plugins array of your zshrc file:

plugins=(... brew)

Shellenv

If brew is not found in the PATH, this plugin will attempt to find it in common locations, and execute brew shellenv to set the environment appropriately. This plugin will also export HOMEBREW_PREFIX="$(brew --prefix)" if not previously defined for convenience.

In case you installed brew in a non-common location, you can still set BREW_LOCATION variable pointing to the brew binary before sourcing oh-my-zsh.sh and it'll set up the environment.

Completion

This plugin configures paths with Homebrew's completion functions automatically, so you don't need to do it manually. See: https://docs.brew.sh/Shell-Completion#configuring-completions-in-zsh.

With the release of Homebrew 1.0, they decided to bundle the zsh completion as part of the brew installation, so we no longer ship it with the brew plugin; now it only has brew aliases. If you find that brew completion no longer works, make sure you have your Homebrew installation fully up to date.
