Do you use any ZSH plugins?
I wasn’t aware ZSH has plugins until @Samjowen mentioned one in the Share an Elixir or dev-env tip a day thread!
Oh My Zsh comes bundled with plugins, which allow you to take advantage of functionality of many sorts to your shell just by enabling them. They are each documented in the README file in their respective
plugins/folder.Enable a plugin by adding its name to the
pluginsarray in your.zshrcfile (found in the$HOMEdirectory). For example, this enables therails,gitandrubyplugins, in that order:plugins=(rails git ruby)
If you’re using any, which ones?

I use the elixir and git plugins a lot. I love the gwip and gunwip aliases. My zsh theme works with them so I can see when I switch to a branch that has a WIP commit. I find it much better than git stash.

My plugin selection is rather slim. I use zplug instead of Oh My Zsh’s built-in plugin system. Here’s my current setup:
zshplugins via zplug:
- vi-mode (from oh-my-zsh)
- wbase.zsh + git-prompt.zsh (woefe’s git prompt)
- zsh-autosuggestions
- zsh-completions
- zsh-history-substring-search
- zsh-syntax-highlighting
The ones I use most:
- zsh-autosuggestions - suggests commands as you type based on history
- zsh-syntax-highlighting - highlights commands in real-time to catch typos
- zsh-history-substring-search - searches history with partial matches (I have it bound to up/down arrows)
- git-prompt.zsh - shows git status in the prompt

I used to use omz as well, though eventually it felt as if most add-ons just were some curated and opinionated aliases I didn’t use anyway, so I removed it, and managed my aliases manually from then on.
