How can I use oh-my-zsh with PHPStorm?

Question

I just got oh-my-zsh (a very good command line utility) and would like to utilize this within the PHPStorm terminal. How can I accomplish this?

Answer 1

As oh-my-zsh is more of an extended zsh-configuration, it should be sufficient to just tell PHPStorm to use zsh as Shell. This can be done in the Settings dialog (Menu File->Settings) under section Project Settings->Terminal. Just change Shell Path to the path of zsh (can be found out with type zsh in a terminal).

To affect every (new) project you may have to repeat this in File->Default Settigs

Answer 2

For once and all setup:

Set it in Preferences->Tools->Terminal and Shell Path = /bin/zsh

restart your PhpStorm and thats it.
