How did you install Oh My Zsh? Did you use some kind of plugin manager?

[RClaudiuM]

@mcornella forgot to mention that I've installed oh-my-zsh through the recommended curl script

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)"

[mcornella]

Can you post your .zshrc file?

ofc

OK, it's not enough to define the $ZSH variable to load OMZ, you also have to source the init script (oh-my-zsh.sh).

Since you're loading OMZ via zinit (plugin manager), you can also load the lib/cli.zsh file to get it, but I suspect you'll have other issues if you only load that, so it's best to load all lib files.
