Expanding my own “Oh My ZSH!”

Apr 2nd, 2010No Comments

I’ve been thinking about cleaning up my own ZShell config and putting it out in the wild, but that just didn’t seem to happen. I was looking for something in ZShell — I think it was getting version control information at the prompt and I stumbled upon a mention of Oh My ZSH which is a bunch of powerful ZShell configs arranged in a nice way.

I tried it and I liked it. But it didn’t have everything that I used. But, heck it’s on github — easy forking.  So I did. My changes are:

  • Change the xiong-chiamiov-plus theme to use vcs_info instead of being git-specific.  Gave the new theme the original name of mikeh.
  • Option to configure a terminal with strange settings (labor intensive on the first run, perfectly wonderful after that.)
  • Will automatically rehash the path, so new commands will be found immediately
  • Added realias to quickly make a new shell alias/function (EDITOR env variable required)
  • Removed upgrade checker (I don’t expect you to trust me)
  • Share history with your zsh’s on the same host

More changes coming as time permits.  Enjoy!
