BREAKING CHANGE: the new async prompt feature will render prompt information asyncronously and degrade nicely when the calls take too long to finish, as the prompt will already be first drawn and interactive. This is enabled by default for the git prompt and themes that use it (`git_prompt_info`). If you find that it's not working for you, please open an issue if one is not already opened, and see https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh#disable-async-git-prompt for how to turn it off.

|
||
|
||
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. 😬

|
||
### Operating System Compatibility

| Windows (WSL2) | ✅ |
|
||
|
||
|
||
### 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 "$(fetch -o - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)"` |
|
||
|
||
Alternatively, the installer is also mirrored outside GitHub. Using this URL instead may be required if you're in a country like India or China, that blocks `raw.githubusercontent.com`:
|
||
|
||
| Method | Command |
|
||
| :-------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
|
||
| **curl** | `sh -c "$(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 "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)" "" --unattended
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
If you're in China, India, or another country that blocks `raw.githubusercontent.com`, you may have to substitute the URL for `https://install.ohmyz.sh` for it to install.
|
||
|
||
#### Installing From A Forked Repository
|
||
|
||
The install script also accepts these variables to allow installation of a different repository:
|
||
|
||
- `REPO` (default: `ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh`): this takes the form of `owner/repository`. If you set
|
||
this variable, the installer will look for a repository at `https://github.com/{owner}/{repository}`.
|
||
|
||
- `REMOTE` (default: `https://github.com/${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 takes 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
|
||
asyncronously. 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 of 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.
|
||
|
||
