Using Oh-My-Zsh Permalink to " Using Oh-My-Zsh"

If you are using Linux or Mac OS X, Oh-My-Zsh is a great tool to manage your ZSH configuration.

Most of the JHipster development team uses Oh-My-Zsh, and if you see people using shortcuts in their terminal, the magic comes from here!

Oh-My-Zsh JHipster plugin Permalink to "Oh-My-Zsh JHipster plugin"

The JHipster Oh-My-Zsh plugin is available on GitHub at https://github.com/jhipster/jhipster-oh-my-zsh-plugin.

Currently it only adds shortcuts (full list here), but we welcome contributions to have better auto-completion!

It is not part (yet) of the official plugin list, so you need to install it manually:

  1. Edit your ~/.zshrc and add jhipster to the list of plugins to enable:

    plugins=( ... jhipster )

  2. In the command line, change to oh-my-zsh’s custom plugin directory and clone the repository:

    cd ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins && git clone https://github.com/jhipster/jhipster-oh-my-zsh-plugin.git jhipster && cd && . ~/.zshrc

The git, docker and docker-compose plugins are usually useful with JHipster.

So your plugins section in your .zshrc file would be:

plugins=(git docker docker-compose jhipster)

  2. Close and reopen your Terminal/iTerm window to refresh context and use the plugin. Alternatively, you can run antigen bundle jhipster/jhipster-oh-my-zsh-plugin in a running shell to have antigen clone and load jhipster.
