Plugins

Enable the plugins you want by editing your ~/.zshrc file. Example:

plugins=(rails3 git ruby)

Completion plugins will let zsh know which arguments the package has so it can autocomplete. For instance, if you have the Homebrew plugin installed and type:

brew in

.. and then hit tab, the brew-plugin will enable autocompletion to brew install. Completion plugins are not documented further on this page as they only provide better introspection for zsh into the original command. man is your friend.

You should always read the source for the plugin before using it to avoid surprises. Plugins are located in ~/.oh-my-zsh/plugins.

The following plugins are bundled:

bower

Maintainer: miklos-martin

Bower is a package manager for the web. This plugin provides some aliases and completions for this great tool.

Aliases

• bi: installs a package (bower install)
• bl: lists installed packages (bower list)
• bs: searches for packages (bower search)

Completion

It completes the basic commands for bower. It uses the bower help command to achieve this, not a burned-in list of commands. It also provides completion for bower install, uses the output of bower search. It takes a few seconds for the first time (in the session), but then the output of bower search is cached, so things then speed up a lot.

Example

# to install jquery for example
bi jq<TAB>

   wd add test
  

  If a warp point with the same name exists, use add! to overwrite it.

• From an other directory, warp to test with:

   wd test
  

• You can warp back to previous directory, and so on, with the puncticulation syntax:

   wd ..
   wd ...
  

  This is a wrapper for the zsh dirs function.

• Remove warp point test point:

   wd rm test
  

• List warp points to current directory (stored in ~/.warprc):

   wd show
  

• List all warp points (stored in ~/.warprc):

   wd ls
  

• Print usage with no opts or the help argument.
