That was my first thought, but then I realized that sudo plugin allows me to edit the command, so it can be more useful sometimes. And it's quicker: 3 vs 8 keys.
A lot of people have mentioned that you can do "sudo !!" for #2. That's correct and I actually didn't know that (thank you!). However, it's still 7 keys to type vs only 2 (esc esc) 😉😎
Thanks for making this video, it is very helpful. Please update video for the following plugin names macOS instead of osx, copypath intead of copydir, zsh_reload no longer supported..
I think it used to be ox though, my ox didn't load, I just got rid of it without looking for the replacement . . . I just added "macos" because of your comment and I'm back in business! Thanks!!
For reloading zsh to include changes in bashrc, zshrc, etc. you can simply type 'zsh', that will reload the shell :P same amount of key presses as 'src' and without pluggins xD
if you type "zsh" you will open a process-within-a-process. don't believe me? type "exit" or "ctrl+d" and you will be back to where you where when you typed "zsh" perhaps more appropriate would be "exec zsh" which replaces your current shell with a new shell
The only plugin you need to move around in directories is z, it's amazing. Combined with the shell built-ins pushd and popd you have everything you need.
Another way to do copy the current directory path, would be to have an alias like this: *alias pwdc='pwd | pbcopy && echo "Pwd copied to clipboard!"'* I named it *pwdc* because the *pwd* gives you the path and appended 'c' for copy For history grep you can also make an alias: *alias {hg,hs,hgrep}="history -i | grep "* ofd from osx plugin can be done with *finder .* or *finder what/ever/path* --nice plugin though
Keep adding plugins to the list might slow the startup of your zshell, some of them can be achieved by builtin functions like sudo !! or CTRL+A to fast jump to beginning of command to prepend sudo
I pronounce zsh as "zesh." spelling it out is silly. If people can say gif instead of gif, and data instead of data, then I can say zsh instead of zsh.
Just a little tip for those who may not know: In the video there was an example of going up directories by typing "cd .. cd .. cd ..", but you can actually do that in one go: "cd ../../.."
Did you know `sudo !!` ? `!!` is an alias for you last command. So this might still be a little more "cumbersome" than ESC ESC, but I think it's not worth having a plugin for that :D Also: `cd ..` `cd ..` is a lot less efficient than `cd ../..`. But even more importantly: jsut typing `cd` always takes you to your home directory.
Am I the only one who thinks this trend of saying "Jay - San" is odd? Wasn't the acronym intended to mimic the name "Jason"? I fully admit I could be wrong, but "Jay san" sounds odd to my ears.
you don´t really need a "plugin" (...well all of them are basically just shellscripts as well) to source the .zshrc again - This one is basically a one-liner just put the alias itself into the .zshrc: - I have one to configure the .zshrc and one to source it again alias czsh="sudo nvim ${ZDOTDIR}/.zshrc" alias szsh="source ${ZDOTDIR}/.zshrc"
May I suggest at 15:40 for the OSX plugin, you probably don't have to do $cdf You probably need to evaluate pfd, eg trying one of these might work $cd $pfd $cd $(pfd) Not that this is anymore convenient. But it's not really something missing in ohmyzsh. Not that I can confirm. I'm on bash, I looked at the video to potentially get into zsh. Thanks for the vid!
I think thefuck Is better than sudo. It will do the retry with sudo when double pressing ESC. And it will also try some other fixes on your mistyped commands
I am just rebuilding my laptop and stumbled across your blog and video, super useful plugins, I know there are so many to choose from, this is a great starter for anyone that is going to be using zsh
Yes. You'll see the changes applied. However, what you've done is the same as opening a new terminal, but by creating it as a sub process. The main zsh process underneath is still not updated yet. If you've installed omz, it's recommended to use 'omz reload' or just create its alias. That will do the job.
Some people like customizing there setups bash and zsh are both extremely similar and most scripts work on both and zsh has extra features like massively better autocompletion
Some of the plugins are fairly easy to write yourself, for example: For copying to clipboard I just do `ccpy something`. e.g. `ccpy pwd`. It's just a function in the config file that does this: `$1 | xclip -sel clip`
@@DUANEYAISER Good point, however in my case, the prompt was taking forever to load because of that "mess". Maybe a better hardware would've solved the problem; idk.
The web search plugin seems to quite off, it is only picking up the first word that I type out in the command. if I say: google oh my zsh It copies only 'oh' to the browser. Anything I might be doing wrong?
folders aleady have special display features. in normal `ls` the folders are colored differently than normal files and in `ls -l` folders have a `d` letter indicating they are folders

the second plugin can be skipped by typing "sudo !!". great video anyways! i installed a couple of them :)
exactly!
About sudo - just use !! - this is your last command. So, your actions:
1: reboot
2: sudo !!
you don't need additional plugins for that
you can alias this as well:
alias please='sudo $(fc -ln -1)'
That was my first thought, but then I realized that sudo plugin allows me to edit the command, so it can be more useful sometimes. And it's quicker: 3 vs 8 keys.
If you know a little more about zsh and command line in general, most of these plugins are redundant
If you forget sudo on a long command just use `sudo !!`. It will run the last command as sudo. Plugin would be little faster I guess.
A lot of people have mentioned that you can do "sudo !!" for #2. That's correct and I actually didn't know that (thank you!). However, it's still 7 keys to type vs only 2 (esc esc) 😉😎
Thanks for making this video, it is very helpful. Please update video for the following plugin names macOS instead of osx, copypath intead of copydir, zsh_reload no longer supported..
Try using the bang commands in the shell... Eliminates the need of the sudo plugin and gives a lot more control.... Awesome video btw
zsh_reload plugin is also deprecated. I use alias src='omz reload' instead
With ctrl+a and ctrl+e you can jump to beginning or end of the line. Ctrl+w jumps through the words
Thanks for the video, added a few plugins I haven't used before!
Also: instead of typing 'clear' you could've Ctrl+L :)
"open ." already works the same as ofd in the osx plugin, FYI.
You can do all of this stuff with a simple one line alias or a function, you dont need a bloated plugin manager
Update about copydir, now is "copypath"
Great tips! 7:47 it's copypath not copydir. 14:09 it's macos not osx.

@@SantiagoArizti That makes a lot of sense! :P
Hey I just find out zsh_reload is deprecated. Is there any replacement for this plugin?
Command 'omz reload' is there for help. If you want, you can create its alias too.
The only plugin you need to move around in directories is z, it's amazing. Combined with the shell built-ins pushd and popd you have everything you need.
What do you mean (I have the tiniest amount of experience in zsh)?
@@washedtoohot plugin called "Z" .... checkout this plugin in github.
"z" has become my favorite go to tool for remembering directories. Is it a plugin though?
It’s available as a single file script u can download. Its called “z - jump around”
i usually pronounce zsh as zsh. What about you? do you pronounce it as zsh or zsh?
Another way to do copy the current directory path, would be to have an alias like this: *alias pwdc='pwd | pbcopy && echo "Pwd copied to clipboard!"'*
I named it *pwdc* because the *pwd* gives you the path and appended 'c' for copy
For history grep you can also make an alias: *alias {hg,hs,hgrep}="history -i | grep "*
ofd from osx plugin can be done with *finder .* or *finder what/ever/path* --nice plugin though
Thanks for the insight!

spelling it out is silly.

The second one (Sudo) is unecessery. If you hit bang-bang (!!) your terminal will copy your last command. So you would only need to type (sudo !!).
Instead of 7th plugin, we can just add this line to zshrc "alias refresh="exec zsh"" or "alias refresh="source zsh"
zed shell. zed, as in ex why zed , I guess zee is some foreign pronunciation of zed?
for anyone seeing this now: 'copydir' is now 'copypath', and 'osx' is now 'macos' ;)
Useful things; but why would you use a plugin for 2-3 lines of code? zsh_reload, history etc
sudo !! - repeat previous command with sudo. "!!" in general contains previous command
Update 2022 - The `copydir` plugin is deprecated. Use the `copypath` plugin instead.
But why use the plugin manager if you can just source the file you downloaded in the .zshrc file
You can literally do all of this without even using a plugin manager
they are unnecessary bloat.
Note that if you aent to sudo the previous command you can use the same syntax as bash meaning: sudo !!
I don't think sudo is actually useful. You could just run "sudo !!" and done
Davis Dorothy Garcia Mark Young Eric
I think jq would be a better more ubiquitous tool than pp_json
hstr is a much better alternative to the history command, I can't live without it.
src plugin is unnecessary. type zsh and exactly the same will happen.
auto-notify not popping up on my kubuntu, any suggestions?
You don’t need a plug-in for sudo, just type !! In terminal
honestly this is second to OMZ in terms of bloat
what terminal is it? The window looks different
everyone says "makedir". Right ? Right ???
"ofd" command is already there with "open ."
why not make the sections a bit more descriptive instead of calling them plugin #n ? that would make it easier to navigate through your video
Done! Thanks for the suggestion
Anyone watching this now: OSX is now macos
Just a little tip for those who may not know: In the video there was an example of going up directories by typing "cd .. cd .. cd ..", but you can actually do that in one go: "cd ../../.."
in omz you just do .... ;-)
You have to interpolate "$(pfd)"

osx plugin has been renamed as macos.
what was the point of copydir again?

I will be using zsh more efficiently from now on. Thank you!

just put the alias itself into the .zshrc:
- I have one to configure the .zshrc and one to source it again
alias czsh="sudo nvim ${ZDOTDIR}/.zshrc"
alias szsh="source ${ZDOTDIR}/.zshrc"
I call it “make dir” too
use macos instead of osx now
Copydir moved to copypath
Thank you!
sudoy and copydir are maybe not that usefull -> use sudo !! and cd -
otherwise, thanks for tips ! :)
copydir is now copypath
osx plugin is now macos
I think best practice would be to name chapters real name of the plugin instead plugin 1, 2, n..
plugin
#1 - is usefull
#2 alternative - "sudo !!" - this will run you previous command with sudo.
Others - can live without them
Instead of using a plugin like sudo, and alternative is writing `sudo !!` which executes your last command by prepending sudo to it.
Everything listed in the video already exists on mac or can be easily aliased... Like for the presentation though
This was eye opening, the osx plugin alone is going to save me tons of time. Thank you for the great video!

sudo !!
May I suggest at 15:40 for the OSX plugin, you probably don't have to do

OMG!! Thank you man!! Nice day from russia 🇷🇺
popd also works well for going back and forth between folders.
Weirdly I do actually call it makedir sometimes rather then mkdir. Depends how not in the mood I am to say shorthands
or sudo !! ?
For anyone wondering where the 'osx' plugin is, it was renamed to 'macos'
I find alias command more useful to an extent... For some basic customisation.
Start 1:42
thanks!

I'm guessing others mentioned this but you can just rerun the last command with sudo pretty easily already; i.e: sudo !!
