I am using Robby Russell's "oh-my-zsh" extension on OSX 10.5 Leopard. However I find that it's not loaded by default.. when I start a new Terminal it uses the "default" ZSH prompt, and I must manually type "zsh" and press Return to get the "enhanced" prompt. My .zshrc
file lists the ZSH path as pointing to the oh-my-zsh directory:
This gets very annoying because every time I open a new tab I've got to type zsh again (as an aside is it possible to get a new tab to remember my current working directory? I mainly write Rails apps so I'll have 2-3 windows open inside the same directory and it's frustrating to have to cd back into it every time). Is there an easy way to get it automatically start oh-my-zsh when I open a terminal so I don't have to type zsh every time?
EDIT
I automatically installed oh-my-zsh following Robby's instructions on Github, so here's the .zshrc it created for me:
# Path to your oh-my-zsh configuration.
export ZSH=$HOME/.oh-my-zsh
# Set to the name theme to load.
# Look in ~/.oh-my-zsh/themes/
export ZSH_THEME="maran"
# Comment this out to disable weekly auto-update checks
# export DISABLE_AUTO_UPDATE="false"
source $ZSH/oh-my-zsh.sh
# Customize to your needs...
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/mysql/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr /local/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/usr/local/git/bin
export GIT_EDITOR="mate -w"
I tried changing the default shell to point to that but then I get an error saying it's been set to an illegal variable. The $HOME variable points correctly to my home directory, but it doesn't seem to be loading until I type zsh in the terminal when I have the regular zsh prompt.
EDIT
Here is the output of pstree -wp $$
