Oh My Zsh

Oh My Zsh is an open-source, community-driven framework for managing your zsh configuration.

Basic Installation

Oh My Zsh is installed by running one of the following commands in your terminal. You can install this via the command-line with either curl, wget or another similar tool.

Troubleshooting

keep git history

For pageable commands, no history remains on screen. A typical example is the log command of git.

First, modify the git configuration to turn off the pager feature. 

$ git config --get core.pager
less -FRSX

And for your convenience, this is from the less man page describing what each of those flags mean: 

   -F or --quit-if-one-screen
          Causes less to automatically exit if the entire file can be displayed on the first screen.

   -R or --RAW-CONTROL-CHARS
          Like -r, but only ANSI "color" escape sequences are output in "raw" form.  Unlike -r, the screen appearance is maintained correctly in most cases.  ANSI "color" escape sequences are sequences of the form:

               ESC [ ... m

          where  the "..." is zero or more color specification characters For the purpose of keeping track of screen appearance, ANSI color escape sequences are assumed to not move the cursor.  You can make less think that characters other than "m" can end ANSI
          color escape sequences by setting the environment variable LESSANSIENDCHARS to the list of characters which can end a color escape sequence.  And you can make less think that characters other than the standard ones may appear between the ESC and the m
          by setting the environment variable LESSANSIMIDCHARS to the list of characters which can appear.

   -S or --chop-long-lines
          Causes lines longer than the screen width to be chopped (truncated) rather than wrapped.  That is, the portion of a long line that does not fit in the screen width is not shown.  The default is to wrap long lines; that is, display the remainder on the
          next line.

   -X or --no-init
          Disables sending the termcap initialization and deinitialization strings to the terminal.  This is sometimes desirable if the deinitialization string does something unnecessary, like clearing the screen.

See less for details.
