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.

Code example showing an Oh My Zsh .zshrc configuration with automatic updates enabled and a 10-day update cooldown, which waits 10 days before pulling new commits.

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...

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.

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.

If you’re looking for a reason to visit Boston in September, check out @squiggleconf.com. Last year, they invited me to kick things off with a talk about the 15-year story of building @ohmyz.sh. A weekend side project that slowly grew into a global community I never could have predicted.
