Key Info

A new skill named dsh-plugin-upgrade-skill is recommended to help DSH plugin authors upgrade their plugins and adapt to new DSH versions, built by the oh-my-dsh community.

Highlights

  • The author argues the DSH plugin ecosystem should not rely solely on plugin authors manually updating code for each DSH release
  • Long-term solutions include reducing breaking changes in DSH and building compatibility layers so plugins written for older APIs still work on new versions, similar to OS backward compatibility
  • dsh-plugin-upgrade-skill is produced by oh-my-dsh, one of the earliest independent DSH plugin developer communities
  • The omdsh-dev organization hosts a curated directory of high-quality DSH plugin projects
  • oh-my-dsh and omdsh-dev are independent communities with no affiliation or partnership with DeepSeek AI
