oh-my-zsh disable lib history.zsh

Question

Im using oh-my-zsh and there is a feature that is really annoying me. The history is share for each console. I want to disable that and after a review i found that

.oh-my-zsh/lib/history.zsh

has this:

setopt share_history # share command history data

How should I disable this? I mean, what is the RIGHT way. It is a lib not a plugin, if I edit the file I will not get updates for it.

Answer 1

This question is old but anyway:

As you can use setopt for setting options, you can use unsetopt to unset them.

Just add

unsetopt share_history 

after having sourced $ZSH/oh-my-zsh.sh

(and yes, it's really annoying ;) )

Answer 2

I mean, what is the RIGHT way. It is a lib not a plugin, if I edit the file I will not get updates for it.

The accepted answer is the easiest way, but it bears mentioning that oh-my-zsh lets you override any file or plugin you want by putting it in $ZSH_CUSTOM - even stuff in lib. If you want to do more than just unsetopt share_history you could run this:

# $ZSH_CUSTOM should already be automatically set to $ZSH/custom # but you can customize the location in your ~.zshrc. # ie: export ZSH_CUSTOM=~/.zsh_custom  # set up lib in omz custom area mkdir -p $ZSH_CUSTOM/lib  # start off with omz version of the file cp $ZSH/lib/history.zsh $ZSH_CUSTOM/lib/history.zsh  # edit that file and make it what you want ${EDITOR:-vim} $ZSH_CUSTOM/lib/history.zsh
