Super fast OSX Terminal with zsh and oh-my-zsh. Time to be a Linux hero. Time for practice. Lots of practice. I intend for this post to save you slow zsh Mac OSX Terminal users many hours of time and suffering. I wonder if oh-my-zsh is going to fix this slow OSX Terminal with oh-my-zsh with some sort of theme standardization and theme warning.

In a previous post, I have explained how I have setup oh-my-zsh with the git plugin.I am also using homebrew to manage the packages installed on my Mac.After upgrading Git recently, I have noticed the Git completion was not as powerful anymore.
To explain how the Zsh completion is cool and supposed to be, here is an example of a correct completion:
The completion displays all the parameters for a Git command with a short documentation.
After updating Git with the
brew update
command here is what it looked like:Install Zsh Mac
Yep, all the integrated documentation was gone :(I was preparing for a Git training at Ippon and I was disappointed not to be able to show this very useful feature to my colleagues new to Git.
It turned that the culprit is homebrew installing a completion for Git which overrides the Zsh completion.You can verify this with:
Oh My Zsh For Macs
The solution is to reinstall git with homebrew and specify not to install the bash completion.

And voilà!
