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) 😉😎
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.
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
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.
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
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 ../../.."
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
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..
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
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 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!!
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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"
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.
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
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?
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) 😉😎
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.
Same about 8. you can just alias reload="source ~/.zshrc"
Try using the bang commands in the shell... Eliminates the need of the sudo plugin and gives a lot more control.... Awesome video btw
With ctrl+a and ctrl+e you can jump to beginning or end of the line. Ctrl+w jumps through the words
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
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.
This was eye opening, the osx plugin alone is going to save me tons of time. Thank you for the great video!
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”

in omz you just do .... ;-)
alias ….=“cd ../../..”
"open ." already works the same as ofd in the osx plugin, FYI.
I will be using zsh more efficiently from now on. Thank you!
that bonus was really a great bonus. Thanks for showing

Thanks for the insight!
You can do all of this stuff with a simple one line alias or a function, you dont need a bloated plugin manager
zsh_reload plugin is also deprecated. I use alias src='omz reload' instead
Thanks for the suggestions.
I started using some of them :)
thank you very much, very useful, my mac is alive))
Thanks for the video, added a few plugins I haven't used before!
Also: instead of typing 'clear' you could've Ctrl+L :)
If you know a little more about zsh and command line in general, most of these plugins are redundant
Update about copydir, now is "copypath"
Thanks for the video. Very helpful. 👍
copydir blew my mind - i copy stuff all the time on terminal. Also "chmod" def an opportunity to pronounce it like Michael Jackson's "shamone".
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!
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.
Great tips! 7:47 it's copypath not copydir. 14:09 it's macos not osx.
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 anyone wondering where the 'osx' plugin is, it was renamed to 'macos'

popd also works well for going back and forth between folders.
hstr is a much better alternative to the history command, I can't live without it.
what terminal is it? The window looks different
auto-notify not popping up on my kubuntu, any suggestions?
Note that if you aent to sudo the previous command you can use the same syntax as bash meaning: sudo !!
UPDATE for "copydir" is actually "copypath" guys
wonderful!! cheers!
OMG!! Thank you man!! Nice day from russia 🇷🇺
Thank you very much.
what was the point of copydir again?
i usually pronounce zsh as zsh. What about you? do you pronounce it as zsh or zsh?
Instead of 7th plugin, we can just add this line to zshrc "alias refresh="exec zsh"" or "alias refresh="source zsh"
thank you so much!
Instead of using a plugin like sudo, and alternative is writing `sudo !!` which executes your last command by prepending sudo to it.
"ofd" command is already there with "open ."
I find alias command more useful to an extent... For some basic customisation.
plugin
#1 - is usefull
#2 alternative - "sudo !!" - this will run you previous command with sudo.
Others - can live without them
Instead of quitting and reopening the terminal, I use the command: /bin/zsh. Any changes are immediately applied. Am I missing a problem using that?
Nope thanks for sharing it!
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.

Hey , I don't find osx anymore in plugins !!
Is it replaced with some other plugin please let me know
Thanks in advance
Don't know if you still need this but its called macos plugin now
I'm guessing others mentioned this but you can just rerun the last command with sudo pretty easily already; i.e: sudo !!
[scrolls down, sees others mention same]
You can never have too much of a good thing, right?
@@envueltoenplastico Nope. All knowledge is appreciated here!
Great presentation by the way, might be finally convinced to move over to zsh (pronouncing it zish naturally 😉)
But why use the plugin manager if you can just source the file you downloaded in the .zshrc file
Update 2022 - The `copydir` plugin is deprecated. Use the `copypath` plugin instead.
Awesome, thank you very much. Oh my zsh is excellent.
These are so useful!
Everything listed in the video already exists on mac or can be easily aliased... Like for the presentation though
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
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.
sudo !! - repeat previous command with sudo. "!!" in general contains previous command
I think best practice would be to name chapters real name of the plugin instead plugin 1, 2, n..

Absolutely! Put having all of them wrapped in plugins is convenient, like getting a brownie or cake mix from Duncan Hines. :-)

Weirdly I do actually call it makedir sometimes rather then mkdir. Depends how not in the mood I am to say shorthands
You don’t need a plug-in for sudo, just type !! In terminal
Start 1:42
thanks!
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 !!).
or sudo !! ?

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 ${ZDOTDIR}/.zshrc"
I think jq would be a better more ubiquitous tool than pp_json
sudo !!
everyone says "makedir". Right ? Right ???
honestly this is second to OMZ in terms of bloat
You have to interpolate "$(pfd)"
Anyone watching this now: OSX is now macos
pwd | pbcopy to copy current dir
I call it “make dir” too
sudoy and copydir are maybe not that usefull -> use sudo !! and cd -
otherwise, thanks for tips ! :)
zed shell. zed, as in ex why zed , I guess zee is some foreign pronunciation of zed?
osx plugin is now macos
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

osx plugin has been renamed as macos.
copydir is no more. 404 error.
Maxie Courts
use macos instead of osx now
Copydir moved to copypath
copydir is now copypath
src plugin is unnecessary. type zsh and exactly the same will happen.
You can literally do all of this without even using a plugin manager
they are unnecessary bloat.
just use regular bash, it's everywhere
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
