LUKE, USE THE SEARCH

May the experiences of other people be with you

YOU HAVE A PROBLEM

See point 1, then look at FAQ or Troubleshooting wiki pages (first we'll have to make them)

YOU HAVE A SOLUTION

See point 1, then go ahead (unless your solution is yet another theme)

YOU HAVE FREE TIME TO VOLUNTEER

Cool! Please have a look at the list below to understand how oh-my-zsh categorizes its issues.

Classification of issues and

• Bugs, which may be:

  • Specific of zsh *
  • Regressions, in which we should summon the author of the offending commit once it is located

• Feature requests

• Helpdesk, which may be:

  • Specific of zsh *
  • Everything else

* In the case of bugs, I see the benefit in going through the trouble of responding to that. After all, oh-my-zsh should be the missing link that makes zsh perfect, and hunting down an upstream bug can lead to a submitted PR. In the case of helpdesk, minimal response should be done. That is, provide a link to the wiki with the relevant information, or add it to the FAQ of the wiki and point to it afterwards.
