If you're coming from the Internet, this section has been edited to only show main Oh My Zsh tricks. Documentation for each plugin can be found in each Plugins README.

Quick reference:

• Oh My Zsh's Command-Line Interface (CLI): omz. Run omz --help for available commands.
• To update Oh My Zsh: omz update.
• To uninstall it: uninstall_oh_my_zsh.
• To apply changes made to .zshrc: omz reload (this just runs exec zsh). Do NOT run source ~/.zshrc.
