If your day bounces between docker, kubectl, terraform, aws, and an ssh session you forgot was open... there's probably already a plugin for it. Nearly 50 ship with Oh My Zsh for DevOps and sysadmin work. A few favorites: kgp → kubectl get pods, tfp → terraform plan, dcupd → docker-compose up -d

If you spend your day in npm, yarn, deno, Angular, React Native, VS Code... there's probably already a plugin for it. Nearly 30 of them ship with Oh My Zsh for front-end work. A few favorites: yd → yarn dev, drw → deno run --watch, rnios → react-native run-ios. ohmyz.sh

You didn’t ask for it. You probably don’t need it. But Robby wanted it anyway. Introducing Shellsavers… screensavers for your shell. Now in Oh My Zsh. 🖥️

We’ve been working through a bunch of new features and updates for @ohmyz.sh lately. One of the latest: a new cooldown option for the updater. Our release strategy has always been pretty simple… git pull from the primary branch.

. @ohmyz.sh recently turned 17. 🥳 2,500+ contributors later, I wrote a little thank-you to everyone who has contributed code, reported bugs, helped other users, sponsored the project… and especially the folks who keep it running day-to-day. opencollective.com/ohmyzsh/upda...

Oh My Zsh recently turned 17. - Oh My Zsh

Seventeen years is a slightly ridiculous amount of time for a little open source project that started as me sharing my Zsh configuration with some friends. Since then, more than 2,500 contributors hav...

When folks ask about my favorite @ohmyzsh plugins, I can easily rattle off a short list. One of the bigger unlocks when most of your team is using Oh My Zsh, though… build your own!

Spent some time recently on @shoptalkshow.com talking shop… We got into the origins of @ohmyz.sh, what makes a plugin actually useful (instead of just clever), and how I’ve been thinking about Ruby on Rails in 2026.

Wrote about how we opted to update @ohmyz.sh's contribution guidelines to account for AI. If anything, I wanted to capture where my brain is at on the topic, should we need to revisit this in 6-12 months. robbyonrails.com/articles/202...

Hey, do you hang out on Discord and use @ohmyz.sh? We could use a few more volunteer moderators. Here’s what’s involved github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmy... If interested, we’ll assume you know how to find us.

We’re looking for a few more Discord moderators! If you use Oh My Zsh often and can point people to the proper channels, we should talk. If you can also help keep spam bots from turning the server into a circus, even better.

If you’ve ever thought “I should get more involved with open source”… this is one of those moments.

It’s December… so here’s the straight truth. Our primary Discord moderator has slowly taken on more and more of the workload… and they’ll be stepping away soon. We need a few new people to help keep the @ohmyz.sh Discord running smoothly.

ProTip: You can now run `omz shop` in your terminal to browse the new @ohmyz.sh shop location. (may require an `omz update`)

What are you hacking on today? When’s the last time you experimented with a different font in your terminal? Drop your favorite below... maybe you’ll inspire someone to try something new (or be inspired yourself). Your shell deserves nice things. 🌈

It’s a good morning to discover a new (to you) Oh My Zsh plugin. Give your shell a little surprise: 👉 github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmy...

Happy Friday, Z-Pals!

You might notice... - Zero plugins - Zero themes - Zero vision for the future. Yet, nearly 2500 developers showed up to contribute code to what it is today.

The @ohmyz.sh core team retreat tonight to see an NBA game. Swing by our @github.com Universe booth tomorrow for stickers and smiles.

Are you heading to GitHub Universe in San Francisco next week? Be sure to say hi at our booth on Day 2 in the open source area.

Robby Russell (creator of Oh My Zsh) says the act of programming is less exciting than what you can do with it. Do you agree? 🤔

Strap in geeks, we're on a wild ride! Fast cars and beautiful terminal shells pair well together. Picking up my new wheels that @ohmyz.sh sponsors helped pay for.

I am not sure who needs to hear this, but if you are an @ohmyz.sh user and you are not using the `take` command, you are doing yourself a disservice. Next time you need to clone a repo, do a `take `. I'll wait.... and you're welcome.

Who is heading to GitHub Universe later this month in SF? I'll be there helping represent @ohmyz.sh in the open source fun time zone, or whatever they're calling it this year. 🙃 Also, who needs a hat? shop.planetargon.com/collections/...
