|
||
|
||
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. 😬
|
||

|
||
|
||
## Getting Started
|
||
|
||
### Prerequisites
|
||
|
||
__Disclaimer:__ _Oh My Zsh works best on macOS and Linux._
|
||
|
||
* Unix-like operating system (macOS or Linux)
|
||
* [Zsh](https://www.zsh.org) should be installed (v4.3.9 or more recent). If not pre-installed (`zsh --version` to confirm), check the following instruction here: [Installing ZSH](https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/wiki/Installing-ZSH)
|
||
* `curl` or `wget` should be installed
|
||
* `git` should be installed
|
||
|
||
### 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` or `wget`.
|
||
|
||
#### via curl
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh)"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
#### via wget
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
sh -c "$(wget -O- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh)"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
#### 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:
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
curl -Lo install.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh
|
||
sh install.sh
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Using Oh My Zsh
|
||
|
||
### Plugins
|
||
|
||
Oh My Zsh comes with a shitload of plugins to take advantage of. You can take a look in the [plugins](https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/tree/master/plugins) directory and/or the [wiki](https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/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.
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
vi ~/.zshrc
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
For example, this might begin to look like this:
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
plugins=(
|
||
git
|
||
bundler
|
||
dotenv
|
||
osx
|
||
rake
|
||
rbenv
|
||
ruby
|
||
)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
_Note that the plugins are separated by whitespace. **Do not** use commas between them._
|
||
|
||
#### Using Plugins
|
||
|
||
Most plugins (should! we're working on this) include a __README__, which documents how to use them.
|
||
|
||
### 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 themes now bundled. Most of them have [screenshots](https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/wiki/Themes) on the wiki. 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:
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
ZSH_THEME="robbyrussell"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
To use a different theme, simply change the value to match the name of your desired theme. For example:
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
ZSH_THEME="agnoster" # (this is one of the fancy ones)
|
||
# see https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/wiki/Themes#agnoster
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
_Note: many themes require installing the [Powerline Fonts](https://github.com/powerline/fonts) in order to render properly._
|
||
|
||
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/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/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.
|
||
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
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:
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
ZSH_THEME_RANDOM_CANDIDATES=(
|
||
"robbyrussell"
|
||
"agnoster"
|
||
)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## 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)
|
||
|
||
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:
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
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
|
||
flag `--unattended` to the `install.sh` script. This will have the effect of not trying to change
|
||
the default shell, and also won't run `zsh` when the installation has finished.
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
curl -Lo install.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh
|
||
sh install.sh --unattended
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
#### Installing from a forked repository
|
||
|
||
The install script also accepts these variables to allow installation of a different repository:
|
||
|
||
- `REPO` (default: `robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh`): 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:
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
REPO=apjanke/oh-my-zsh BRANCH=edge sh install.sh
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
#### Manual Installation
|
||
|
||
##### 1. Clone the repository:
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
git clone https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh.git ~/.oh-my-zsh
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
##### 2. *Optionally*, backup your existing `~/.zshrc` file:
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
cp ~/.zshrc ~/.zshrc.orig
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
##### 3. Create a new zsh configuration file
|
||
|
||
You can create a new zsh config file by copying the template that we have included for you.
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
cp ~/.oh-my-zsh/templates/zshrc.zsh-template ~/.zshrc
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
##### 4. Change your default shell
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
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
|
||
|
||
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/`.
|
||
|
||
## Getting Updates
|
||
|
||
By default, you will be prompted to check for upgrades every few weeks. If you would like `oh-my-zsh` to automatically upgrade itself without prompting you, set the following in your `~/.zshrc`:
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
DISABLE_UPDATE_PROMPT=true
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
To disable automatic upgrades, set the following in your `~/.zshrc`:
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
DISABLE_AUTO_UPDATE=true
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Manual Updates
|
||
|
||
If you'd like to upgrade 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:
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
upgrade_oh_my_zsh
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
