Command history in Zsh is handled with HISTFILE and AFAIK prompts do not alter it. Does this happen with other prompts for you ?

Make sure your history file is setup properly.

Is it the first time you switched from bash to zsh? If this is the case, you will not see bash history in zsh.

I'm not switching from bash to zsh. I've been using zsh with oh-my-zsh.sh. I've changed .zshrc from source $ZSH/oh-my-zsh.sh to source ~/alien/alien.zsh

Did you follow OMZ's guide to install theme? https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/wiki/Customization#overriding-and-adding-themes

OK, I followed and it works as expected. Thank you!
